Hardware and Performance / WireGuard vs QNAP QBelt VPN | Performance Mystery
« on: August 28, 2023, 03:03:13 am »
Hi, this is my first time setting up a VPN with WireGuard on OPNsense, but from what I understand, WireGuard should be the option with the highest performance.
Well, here's the scenario:
At the company, I have a Google Fiber Business connection (2 Gbps Down / 1 Gbps Up). On the other end, I have a workstation with a connection from another ISP, with full duplex 1 Gbps.
I know that with this setup, the maximum test limit will be 1 Gbps. However, I'm getting conflicting results.
When I test the performance using iperf3, I get the following results on the workstation:
WireGuard - 40 Mbps UP | 115 Mbps Down
QNAP QBelt - 300 Mbps UP | 25 Mbps Down
This result doesn't make much sense to me because they are directly opposite, and the case of QNAP QBelt has a very large difference in UP performance, not to mention that QNAP QBelt requires Port Forwarding through OPNsense.
Does anyone have any ideas to share about what could be causing this and how I can improve WireGuard's performance?
NOTE: Just to clarify, I have no intention of using QNAP's VPN; this was a choice the client made in the past before having OPNsense.
