Huh. Stalling on interrupts (95%). Are you using Realtek Ethernets with the factory (not the plugin) driver? If so, try the plugin. If not, what Ethernet interfaces do you have?

Unter Aliase kann ich Dienstgruppen erstellen..
Hier brauche ich UDP und teilweise nur TCP an gewissen Ports..

Wenn ich so einen erstellten Alias anwenden will in den Regeln, muss ich zwischen Tcp/Udp oder nur tcp oder nur udp wählen...

Also muss ich eine Gruppe erstellen für UDP und eine für TCP oder Tcp/Udp.

Was ist das für ein umständlicher käse.



Bisher habe ich einzelne "Dienste" erstellt mit jeweiligen Port und Protokoll, und diese dann in eine Gruppe gesteckt (Zyxel).
Innerhalb der Gruppe wurde auf Port 1 nur udp, auf Port 2 tcp/Udp und beispielsweise auf port 3 nur tcp erlaubt.
Alles in einer einzigen Regel!
Statt wie hier in der Nerdwall umständlich durch 2 oder mehr aliase.

?!

here you have it, in the attached file.

I tried to implement the tunnable described in the opnsense documentation about performance:
https://docs.opnsense.org/troubleshooting/performance.html

if you need something else just ask

thanks

An interrupt handler issue? I haven't seen one myself. Do you have any unusual sysctls (tuneables) configured?

Can you paste a "top" capture?

Clear, thank you all contributors.

I don't have a paid subscription but I was at the start very willing to be helpful and was engaged with their support team to help them help me diagnose problems and in return they got to improve their product. It felt the fair tradeoff of being early user/tester for a free product. All as expected.
As time has gone by I am more and more disheartened with the trajectory so far taken, in that it feels now they've had our use, they can move to their paying market with a more mature product.
Again, not unexpected BUT as with the functionality gone that used to be free and the main one, multicore, exactly as you have clearly explained, has had me 1) wondering if it is still worth the machine's stress for what it gets 2) whether to stop using it.
It seems the balance against us is too uneven. The impression that they have taken without giving back to balance the scales a bit for us early testers is the more bitter one.

A similar thinking is growing with Crowdsec to be honest but this is not the place for this one.

So yes, same impressions, same fork in the road. No decision taken yet but feels close. I don't know yet what will replace it though.

Hi all,

I think i tried to debug it until the  limit of my knowledge but i reached a point i will need a bit of support and guidance.

During a regular speed test via internet (a 350mbps connection) i realized that the "swi1: netisr" routines take 100% of the cpu, this is only noticeable if the FW is enabled, if the FW is disabled then the cpu usage for the same test is not going beyond 18% (the expectation here)

i dont have any idp/ids active, my services are limited to DNSmasq, unbound and tailscale and the nic are intel. so I am out of ideas.

could somebody be so kind to point me to where to look to see where the problems is originated?

thanks in advance

Und warum kann man die Regeln unter "Rules [New]" nicht gescheit sortieren und anzeigen, ohne ein Baumdiagramm oder Filter zu benutzen ?
Ich richte LAN1 Regeln ein, dann für andere Subnetze, dann noch mal eine Regel für LAN1 und es wird unter allen anderen Regeln ein neuer Reiter eröffnet, obwohl es mit in Kategorie LAN1 einsortiert werden könnte. Verschieben geht auch nicht, weil es nicht bei den anderen Regeln eingruppiert wurde.

Entweder ich bin echt zu blöd, bin eine andere Logik gewohnt oder es ist umständlich in der Handhabung.
