Quote from: railswrack on October 27, 2024, 09:21:38 AMI just recently changed to a new modem (Arris S33) and a protectli vault with OPNsense. Also using a switch and wireless access point.It sounds like UPnP might be the issue since your old router had it enabled. Check your OPNsense settings to ensure UPnP is activated and that your gaming devices can use it. Also, consider adjusting your NAT settings, as different modes can impact P2P connections. Good luck!
I did this to fix fluctuating and constant speed drops that my old modem/router was giving me. (Netgear C7000v2). This has completely fixed my internet speeds by not only making them more stable but also faster.
However despite my improved speeds, my connection in online gaming is worse than before. This is the 2nd OPNsense router I have tried (thought the first one had faulty hardware or something) but the same thing is happening on my new one.
The game I'm playing uses p2p stickman hook (peer to peer) connections between players. Not a dedicated server, so connections are based on the "host" player with the other players feeding off the host's connection.
I'm not sure how to go about fixing it, but from my research I think it might have something to do with UPnP or NAT.
My old router had UPnP enabled and did not have this issue.
I'm not sure how to go about fixing this or what settings to change. If someone could please help me I'd appreciate it! All my OPNsense settings are currently default except I changed my LAN ip from 192.168.1.1 to a static ip.
By the way I game on PC and it is hard wired to my switch (not WiFi). Thank you!

The steps so far followed the OSI Layer Model:
Connecting the Physical Layer (Layer 1) between OPNsense Appliance and Managed Switch
Creating the Data Link Layer (Layer 2) with LAGG (optional) and VLAN
Configuring the Network Layer (Layer 3) by setting IP addresses on the VLAN interfaces
