Speedtest slow on OPNsense, but not on client

[loganm]

Hi alll,

I'm new here. I hope I posted in the right place, otherwise please move it to the right one.

I'm running OPNsense (Version 24.7.6-amd64) on a mini PC with two 1Gb NIC's. I have a 1000/100Mbps connection through my ISP.

I have installed the "os-speedtest-community" plugin and when I run the speedtest I get about 550/110Mbps reading. But doing it from my PC I get about 940/110Mbps.

So I'm actually not complaining about my speed, but more wondering about measurement, when I run it from OPNsense. Can anyone explain it to me?

EDIT: All of my traffic from my LAN goes through the OPNsense, which is the only device connected directly to my ISP's router.

TIA
Martin

Did you use the same server as counterpart? The automatic selection does not always have the same outcome.

Yes, I am testing towards the same counterpart. As mentioned I just find it strange, and have no real issue.
