Zenarmor (Sensei) / Re: Device count

« on: October 05, 2020, 11:43:11 pm »

Perhaps I should have added that it didn't stop working. It says it freely protects up to 15 devices and the mentioned 19 devices are a rather cosmetic bug. Anyway it should count each protected MAC address. I don't think anyone uses the same MAC twice since that is asking for trouble.

Sensei says I have 19 devices, but that is cheating, since it also counts the devices which aren't protected by Sensei.

Things to try:

* disable checksum and segmentation offload (Interfaces / Settings);
* use real OpenSSH or Putty instead of third-party implementations.

20.7 Legacy Series / Re: Call for testing: official netmap kernel

« on: September 17, 2020, 11:27:21 pm »

I have pressed 12 and y without knowing in advance that it will revert my kernel. So, after rebooting APU2, I measured the download speed for unencrypted Usenet through Sensei and it's almost 270 Mbps (instead of 220 Mbps with the netmap kernel).

Found the solution: uncheck "Disable hardware large receive offload" save, and reboot. Then netmap kernel is as fast as stock kernel. I mean for unencrypted Usenet connections I got 275 Mbps out of 300 Mbps nominal Usenet speed. But this does not work for SSL or TLS Usenet connections.

Like I said, I got 235 Mbps with Sensei. I suspect that's the maximum my WiFi allows through my mobile phone (I also have other clients for 5 GHz WiFi).

Between 60 Mbps and 235 Mbps there is a huge difference. I don't know how Fing measures speed, but if it would work the same way for Usenet speed, it would be great.

Ok, got it: TLS Usenet connections have a speed of just under 9 MB/s through Sensei. Unencrypted Usenet connections have a speed around 26 MB/s or 27.5 MB/s.

So, unencrypted Usenet reaches about 220 Mbps.

Nope, it did not change the download speed in APU2. If anything, it got even lower. I use Sensei 1.6 with September definitions.

@almadovaris, APU2 is quite weak. Though, I would not expect BW getting lower. Can you share a few figures?

New netmap kernel + Sensei 1.6 is producing better results for us and for some users we're in touch with. We were able to attain around 1 Gbps  sustained throughput even with old Xeon servers (ubench scores around 180K-220K - all igb drivers).

I am a home user, I won't invest thousand Euros for a router. I have unprotected igb2 (i.e. got it outside of Sensei) and that's where my Usenet download boxes are.

In Opnsense 20.1 I got 180 to 200 Mbps download speed through Sensei.

In Opnsense 20.7 with normal kernel I get 65 to 75 Mbps download speed. With the netmap kernel I get 60 to 65 Mbps.

Of course that's measuring the download speed the same way, with Ookla from my internet provider. If I measure it with Fing for mobile phone I get now (netmap kernel) 120 Mbps to 235 Mbps, depending on the router. Through OpenVPN from a computer behind Sensei the speed is again much higher than without VPN.

I did notice that easpect runs about 92% of one processor core during high speed download.

So, yeah, basically I am content about Sensei since my high speed downloads go outside of it.

Klopt, bekend brugmodus probleem.

Je kan dit overwegen: uit de brugmodus halen en Opnsense in de DMZ van de modem/router zetten.

Speedtest APU2 with Sensei, Aug 22 test kernel: 66.4 Mbps download speed from my own internet provider.

Speedtest APU2 with Sensei, but through OpenVPN from a Linux box behind it, Aug 22 test kernel: 149.5 Mbps download speed from my own internet provider.

Nope, each Ethernet port and each VLAN can be filtered by Sensei or not filtered, at your own choice. You are fully free to do that.

AFAIK eastpect is single-core. Why not make it use multi-core?

Yup, I have installed the preview version based on 12.1 and Sensei slashed my Usenet download speed to 8 MB/s instead of 22 or 24 MB/s as previously. I have APU2.
