    Many thanks @stephenw10 for replying to my query. Sorry for replying earlier. I coudn't get back due to a mishap in family. The issue was finally resolved. I was due to fault in the ONT provided by the ISP. The bridge mode was not working properly. After follow up with ISP, they replaced the ONT and it worked. Thanks again for you time.

    @marzdor said in Not getting same speed as isp router: I unplugged the cable from the WAN and put it in the OPT port and it showed up as 1000 Mmm, that in combination with the fact both ports are configured the same starts to look like a problem with the port.

    Traditionally things were put in /conf for that because, many years ago, it was shared between boot slices. That doesn't apply any more but custom files are often put there. I would expect /root to be fine though, I've had custom things there for years. Steve

    Thanks for the suggestion. I'm not sure how often pfsense scans for the ip address for the WAN, but 8/10 times it will finally get a legit ip address, sometimes taking several minutes to register when I power down/up my modem.

    There is a patch for 22.01/2.6 to fix the outbound NAT (masquerade) function of miniupnpd you may want to test: https://forum.netgate.com/topic/169837/upnp-fix-for-multiple-clients-consoles-playing-the-same-game It's in the recommended patches list in the System Patches package. Steve

    @panzerscope said in Editing loader.conf: @bmeeks Thanks guys. So it was indeed Snort. Removed it, and the logging went away. I have since installed Suricata and so far so good. Looks like high volume traffic through the WAN is not producing any queuing issues which is awesome. Thank you for the feedback. Hopefully this thread may help someone else in the future with a similar issue. I'm glad Suricata seems to be working better for you. I collaborated with the Suricata upstream team to add the multiple queue support for netmap back during the summer of 2021. Just be aware that using Inline IPS Mode (which requires netmap) will cause some issues with certain other pfSense/FreeBSD features. First and foremost, limiters and shapers are not currently compatible with netmap. Secondly, VLANs do not always work well. It depends on the exact configuration. When using Inline IPS Mode, you must run the Snort or Suricata instance on the physical parent VLAN interface.

    Yes, the 2100 is arm64 and from 22.01 can run ZFS. The 3100 is 32bit and cannot.

    The dashboard shows the total usage across all cores. So on the 2100 that's 2 cores. That could be both cores at 90% or one core at 100% and the other at 80%. Diag > System Activity should show you what's using it. 90% is very high unless it's passing a load of traffic. Running top -aSH at the CLI shows the same thing On a test box here I see: last pid: 72786; load averages: 0.17, 0.32, 0.26 up 0+02:28:52 15:38:17 623 threads: 3 running, 595 sleeping, 25 waiting CPU: 1.0% user, 0.0% nice, 1.8% system, 0.6% interrupt, 96.7% idle Mem: 82M Active, 683M Inact, 643M Wired, 1902M Free ARC: 428M Total, 123M MFU, 282M MRU, 552K Anon, 3223K Header, 19M Other 360M Compressed, 743M Uncompressed, 2.06:1 Ratio PID USERNAME PRI NICE SIZE RES STATE C TIME WCPU COMMAND 11 root 155 ki31 0B 32K CPU1 1 136:03 96.78% [idle{idle: cpu1}] 11 root 155 ki31 0B 32K RUN 0 137:38 96.08% [idle{idle: cpu0}] 21079 root 25 0 139M 44M accept 0 0:10 1.39% php-fpm: pool nginx (php-fpm){php-fpm} 12 root -60 - 0B 400K WAIT 0 1:13 0.82% [intr{swi4: clock (0)}] 72404 root 20 0 14M 4788K CPU0 0 0:00 0.72% top -aSH 0 root -92 - 0B 448K - 1 0:47 0.42% [kernel{dummynet}] 23993 root 20 0 28M 8084K kqread 1 0:01 0.22% nginx: worker process (nginx) 12 root -92 - 0B 400K WAIT 1 0:11 0.12% [intr{pcib0,0: ath0}] 78950 root 20 0 11M 2708K select 1 0:09 0.10% /usr/sbin/syslogd -s -c -c -l /var/dhcpd/var/run/log -l / 89921 root 20 0 405M 361M bpf 1 0:39 0.09% /usr/local/bin/snort -R _28847 -D -q --suppress-config-lo 12 root -92 - 0B 400K WAIT 0 0:05 0.07% [intr{gic0,s42: mvneta0}] 57454 root 20 0 15M 2624K nanslp 0 0:04 0.05% /usr/local/bin/dpinger -S -r 0 -i GIF_TUNNELV4 -B 10.2.4. 9 root -16 - 0B 16K pftm 1 0:09 0.05% [pf purge] Steve

    Yeah, if you have alternative sound hardware and it's recognised I think you can set that be the system sound device and should it work. I've never tried that myself though.
