The poster with the solution installed their package on Linux, then copied the configuration over. No need to install anything on OPNsense as far as I understand.

hi, my problem is that NordLynx can't works with NordVPN dedicated IP...
And I have a dedicated IP subscription...

It's a black day...

https://support.nordvpn.com/hc/en-us/articles/19684336200081-How-to-connect-to-your-dedicated-IP-on-Linux

when will we be able to have OPNsense optimizations to have the same quality of service as with pfsense+?

From the looks of it, you are just the right person to ask this:

I switched to opnsense because pfsense+ became paid.

To which I explained:

Note that the product you are coming from has custom optimizations for encrypted traffic as discussed here (probably not limited to Wireguard, in case you use OpenVPN). BTW: since you posted your question twice with different versions of that product: The optimisations are only in the commercial version of it!

So, to set this straight: you expect a feature that you were not willing to pay for in a commercial product from a free product and ask when it will be available?  :o

To be sure, I paid for pfsense+... And I am terribly disappointed to see that the speeds are so catastrophic...

In the past, I thought my speeds were better with OpenVPN... But maybe I was wrong.

So, in my case, I have the same speeds with pfsense+ and OPNsense...

Ok thank you very much, I understand. Sorry, English is not my language so I have difficulty understanding.

With your last message, I understand that you have to go through ubuntu to generate elements which will then allow you to configure OPNSense.

It is therefore not necessary to install packages on OPNsense, you just need to do the manipulations on an Ubuntu machine (a virtual machine in my case) while you generate the keys and elements that will allow you to connect with wireguard.

Is it this ?

Have a look at https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?topic=21350.0

So we can't install it directly on OPNsense ?
The guy use ubuntu.

I restarted, but I don't see any improvement...
Do you know if by using WireGuard my speed could be better?

Probably, but I do not know for sure. As I said, the speed doubles for Wireguard, but if your reference is OpenVPN, IDK.

Do you know a tutorial for configuring wireguard with NordVPN?

I've looked around the web, but it's pretty confusing.

Not anything OpnSense specific, but everything I  have seen suggested Wireguard or OpenVPN for NordVPN.

when will we be able to have OPNsense optimizations to have the same quality of service as with pfsense+?

I would like to install nordvpn with wireguard to optimize my speed. I can't find any support to do this configuration.
Thx

You will see an improvement after a reboot only, but it will not be as fast as your previous product.

Read the linked thread, all the info is there.

Thank you,

# opnsense-update -zkr 14-STABLE -a FreeBSD:14:amd64


I tried the update, but I can't see any improvement...
Do you think it is possible to improve this?

Without NordVPN (OpenVPN) :
Download = 824Mbps
Upload = 654Mbps

With NordVPN (OpenVPN) :
Download = 470Mbps
Upload = 80Mbps

Hello, yes indeed, I use NordVPN.
And you are right, the throughput is very bad with OpenVPN. If I deactivate the VPN, my speed becomes decent again.

To optimize speed with NordVPN, you recommended a command line.

What is this line of code for, and do you really think it will optimize NordVPN throughput?

Thank you so much,

Hello, I was using pfsense+, and I had very good speeds (1500Mbps down and 650Mbps up).
I switched to opnsense because pfsense+ became paid.
I'm happy with OPNSense, but I have major flow problems.
Now I barely have 650Mbps down and 90Mbps up.
How is this possible?

How can I resolve my problem?

I use an Intel(R) Celeron(R) N5105 PC @ 2.00GHz (4 cores, 4 threads) 16GB RAM.

Thanks a lot for your help.

Hi, I was using pfsense, but now, I switch to OpnSense.
I have a big problem with my download and upload speed.
With pfsense : 1500MBPS download speed and 650MBPS upload speed.
With OPNSENSE : 250MBPS download an 90MBPS upload.

I'm using a PC with Intel(R) Celeron(R) N5105 @ 2.00GHz (4 cores, 4 threads) and 16Go of RAM.

What is my problem ????

Thank you

[- First entry: 192.168.X.X]

I don't know what I must put for the IP in Aliases ??

Step 7:
Navigate to Firewall > Aliases > View
- Add a new Alias
- Name: VPNTraffic
- Description : VPNTraffic
- Type: Host(s)
- First entry: 192.168.X.X

Hi,
I just migrated from pfsense+ to OPNsense.

I can't configure my NordVPN properly.

I have a DNS leak while running online tests (dnsleaktest.com and others).

I want to be able to manage rules so that certain client IPs pass through the VPN, and others do not use the VPN.

I tried to redo my pfsense configuration, but I have this leak on the DNS...

I do not know what to do.

My NAT config like in pfSense :


My Rule for the client interface :

Thanks helping me.
