Performance and HA questions

[rafaelbs]

Hi!

We are planning to setup Transparent Web Proxy to a big network (around 10K hosts).

Our appliance spec is:

- AMD EPYC 7H12 64-Core Processor (64 cores, 128 threads)
- 524Gb of RAM
- 8 Nvidias
- Also has in Intel Quick Assist 8970.

I would like to hear your opinion if this spec is OK to run all the web traffic. On peak the box (without Proxy) is processing around 30Gbps of throughput, which most is web traffic.

In case not, I would like to know if is possible to setup a pool of opnsense instances specifically to run Web Proxy under a load balancer (HAproxy), and if there is a know guide to do it.


Thanks a lot!

I would suggest you use Zenarmor on OPNsense and ask their support about scaling such an installation.
