My download has gone from 5.2Gbps to 3.2Gbps & Upload has gone from 5.1Gbps to 1.4Gbps since installing Zenarmor, and I have OPNsense running on a Dell PowerEdge R730 with on two Intel Xeon E5-2643 v3 @ 3.40GHz (6 cores each). 64GB RAM.


Is this to be expected or have I misconfigured the extension?

I would have expected that with use of a single thread only for the free tier, but I do not use Zenarmor.

Yop, this is the expected throughput in regards of your CPU when using ZA.
I would even say you are bit above the expected.

Thanks for the replies.

Only the free tier is single-threaded, am I understanding that correctly?

There is no multicore support yet.

As for when there will be and on which subscription is still not properly communicated by ZA. There is a Major thread about this topic.

I read through it. Looks like this has been in progress for an very long time. Unfortunately, I cannot wait while continuing to use the product.

Aside from it being single-threaded, are there any adjustments that can be made to reduce the reduction in throughput? For example, should I use something other than ElasticSearch? Should I not emulate the Netmap driver? Should I not include Wireguard? Anything at all..

The only way how to improve performance for ZA is to move of the DB to an external one.

Hi,

Good news regarding multicore support. We have released a test binary. Kindly contact the support team via the "Have Feedback" option located in the bottom right corner of the UI if you wish to try it out.
