Teams and Zoom meetings

[EASC Support]

Hello all

I am very new to OPNsense. I apologize for my lack of knowledge. I have 24.7 running on a Lenovo Tiny with 24gb of ram and a 120 Gb m.2. Plenty of power for this application. I am experiencing users who get dropped from Zoom and Teams meetings quite often. When they don't get dropped the video is very choppy. This only started after I introduced the OPNsense into our environment. Could i get some ideas where to look. Thank you

Reduce your firewall to a minimum viable configuration - usually just NAT on IPv4. Iterate through:

- save the state in a backup
- test performance
- if acceptable, introduce a new feature
- if unacceptable, revert to last state

Troubleshoot the detrimental feature(s) and/or evaluate where they are on the MoSCoW scale of requirements.

Additional to what @Bart suggested (and I agree),

Check as well what is the total consumption of your internet BW during the time issues happen because it sounds a bit like a potential congestion/buffer bloat problem.

You provided very less details about your network, topology, features and configuration. By default OPNsense doesn't have problem with these two applications. I have people at the office (myself included) working daily using MS Teams or Zoom without any problems.
