ok. I have a 1GB WAN from Comcast. it runs at about 750MB, its never a Gig. anyway, I am in the process of aggregating 2 nic's into my switch from my docs 3.1 modem and 2 WAN ports into pfsense (if thats possible), and added a 2nd virtual and physical nic to the storj node. Now I'm trying to do some traffic shaping to prioritize traffic from the node in both the switch, esxi and pfsense. This is new to me as i said so its going to take me a minute to figure out how to do it. Also, it seems the storj node is working much better already and the satellite online % has increased significantly overnight.
I am having loss and lag on the WAN port still between 8% and 22% I have an appointment scheduled for a tech to come out but of course they will say. "everything looks fine..." because unfortunately Comcast field techs get paid poorly and thus are minimally knowledgeable which is a corporate decision and is a bad one to say the least, for both the field techs and the customer but good for the share holders and board members. Right? Anyway, thank you to everyone for the help identifying my issues. So far pfsense and the community has been great!
EDIT: I just wanted to say, that so far everything open source and Linux related is just awesome. I have been on several forums, this one is the latest and its just great how everyone helps out and i dunno. its just a great way to do things... Thanks everyone.
