I found the following details on how to install Speedtest on FreeBSD, is there a way to install it on OPNsense?

Yes. But that was not the question ;)
There's a FreeBSD port, BTW.

@mimugmail I've just realised you have a plug-in: should i instasll your plug-in or from the official site?

[mimugmail]

Ummm... The speedtest plugin is mine... :-)
It installs either Ookla or Ports CLI version if you have none on the router already.

Thanks mihak - just installed your plug-in and noticed it also adds a new widget.

I tried sppedtest-cli and now want to try Ookla: do I have to uninstall it and re-install it again in order to select Ookla??

[Patrick M. Hausen]

You can ˋpkg deleteˋ just the speedtes-cli, but not the plugin. Then the plugin will let you chose again in the UI.

@mihak
any update for your plugin for FreeBSD13?

[RamSense]

I'm wondering about this also: is there an update coming? I just installed the speedtest plugin and it doesn't seem to work with speedtest-cli, the ookla does work. (OPNsense 22.7.6-amd64 - FreeBSD 13.1-RELEASE-p2),

[tong2x]

it does work for and oakla update for freebsd13...

is it possible to select which wan to test, can the UI be updated for WAN selection
may it be by gateway or by gateway group to test it speed test directly via firewall

[spetrillo]

FYI...I tried installing the plugin and it does not install the speedtest cli for either OOKLA or Ports.

There is already a PR here for fixing this, need a few days to build a pkg
