Most enterprise switches will be able to but some consumer ones are not great.

Is your physical switch that your LAN ports are connected to capable of multiple gigabit (Can it move multiple gigibit simultaneously between multiple ports. The same virtual LAN switch your OPNsense is connected to, this would keep the traffic between them and OPNsense within the host and not having to trombone up to the switch and back down again. If your VM's are on the same host as your OPNsense then you 'could' connect them to your vmbr2 LAN.

Like you my vmbr1 is WAN and vmbr2 is LAN, these are my two intel ports on my add in card. My onboard NIC is what I use to connect to Proxmox for admin etc this is vmbr0 and has the proxmox IP address. This slows my throughput considerably!įor the reports just don't have the screen open on OPNsense that shows the realtime graph of the network bandwidth, be on the Dashboard instead for example. OH and make sure your OPNsense is not running/showing Reporting>Traffic Graphs. I use I/O Thread also as an option when selecting disk type. The number of connections, connection type, test duration, and other parameters are set by Ookla for each test based on perpetual data analysis that is used to provide the most accurate results for Web, Native, CLI, and Speedtest Powered (embedded) clients. Make sure they are targeting your NVME and its actually giving you the IOPS you expect when tested at the host. Make sure you have setup your disks correctly (I use 'discard' with an older SSD). Thinking about how much each VM is sending and receiving during your test within your host and on what network paths. I'm not sure how much you know about virtualisation, but make sure you are dedicating the NIC's to OPNsense as much as possible to ensure it has physical bandwidth to achieve what you want. It only has two interfaces being WAN and LAN I have selected QEMU guest agent and run this in the OPNsense guest through plugins My OPNsense was installed as 'Other' (Not Linux etc within Proxmox) Make sure you are not running any additional services like IPS or even config like DynDNS initially.

I have a fresh install of the latest OPNsense 21.7.3-amd64 OPNsense has 8GB RAM, 4vCPU, 10GB Disk backed by SSD.Īnother VM on the same host and connected to LAN (vmbr2) blasts 900/400 using the CLI tool.Ī Physical Desktop connected to a switch and then to the Proxmox host via LAN also tests 900/400.Īre you using Intel NIC's? I hear anything else is problematic but can't confirm this.Īre you testing using the CLI tool and not the standard web browsed method?ĭownload: 915.50 Mbps (data used: 460.4 MB) I have not applied any tunables to OPNsense. Pretty simple and straight forward setup. These external Intel ports are attached to two linux bridges, one for WAN and one for LAN. My Proxmox host hardware is less than yours but I do have an additional dual port 82576EB Intel card. I'm getting Gigabit (900/400 is my internet) through my OPNsense running as a VM on Proxmox.
