Gradual Internet Performance Degradation since upgrading to 26.7.x

[nero355]

[...]shitty Phison Controller[...]

It's a low-capacity SATA device. It's probably competitive within its class.

It has been a while since I have been reading SSD Reviews a lot, but I really can't remember anything positive about that SSD Controller at the moment, but I do still know there has been a lot of crap out there as soon as you go off the "Intel Workstation/Enterprise SSD Highway" so to speak...

but appropriate for the VP2420.

Maybe not... We shall see...

From the SMART output, it looks happy.

That it does! :)

After upgrading to 27.7.7, the GUI is almost completely dead. I'm having trouble logging into the GUI now and I've restarted web gui multiple times. If I do get to the dashboard on a login, going to any other page is slow and attempting to look at firewall liveview log or states results in a complete stall of the GUI with the spinning icon. I have rebooted OPNSense from the command line multiple times, but the GUI is virtually useless at this point.

Looking at the lighttpd log via the ssh shell, I'm seeing these errors. You can see the forced restart of the GUI from the command line and the lack of socket connections. I did manage to login once after this restart and will reboot from the GUI now.

No, not at all. I have 14GB free ram of the installed 16GB. I managed to reboot via the GUI. I waited 5 minutes after the Login page came up and the first attempt to log in failed with a page timeout error. I tried a second time and the Dashboard finally came up but was completely blank. A few minutes later, it finally populated. Overall, the web GUI is EXTREMELY slow. I checked the Unbound configuration and all my settings were wiped out in the GUI yet it is running based on my check command: dig +short txt proto.on.quad9.net. I just reloaded the Dashboard page and it went blank for almost 10 minutes!
