OK, thanks for reply.

It may be worth trying with UDP mode too. I just did that and got a little above 700Mbps. I wouldn't be shocked if it's just not possible to do much better than that with these Realtek NICs.

I assume you want to setup a VPN from pfSense to the RV50? Have you tried this and it didn't work? How did it fail? There is almost certainly no way to run pfSense on the RV50. Steve

The driver itself has been upstreamed and is now in the FreeBSD package so is included. But the GUI components have not been updated to include it (yet) so it must still be started manually at this time. Steve

Thanks! I was looking at the Qotom systems as well. Decided to work with what I had on hand. ESXi gives you a browser based interface, and you can click on VM and they open in window. Edit VMs, meaning assign more RAM, Disk, or even a virtual CD-ROM that you mount as an ios. Really cool stuff. I attached some screen grabs. I thinking of building a HTPC, when I'm done with pfSense. Likely to put the Mini back into commission for that. BTW I've got an Iron Man theme going... Pepper Pots, Happy, and Heimdall :-) [image: 1538437535305-esxi-resized.png] [image: 1538437535701-osx-resized.png] [image: 1538437517074-ubuntu-resized.png]

The Hades Canyon has 2 intel Nic's 1 is a i219-lm the other i210-at. I can tell you at the time of writing this my system under full download speeds running suricata never goes above 10% CPU. This is a beast @occamsrazor said in USB 3.0 to Gigabit Ethernet: Does the Hades Canyon have Intel NICs or something else? Not planning to get one, but just curious.....

Thanks for sharing. What sort of performance did you see with this Conor?

I work on these generation servers from Dell regularly. They are approaching 10 years old and we have started seeing motherboard failures. As others have stated you are probably seeing some type of hardware failure.

Ok, then I have to wait until pfSense gets some updates and supports my card. In the mean time I installed Lede/OpenWRT, it works great and was easy to install using many tutorials written for this card. {ENG} How to install Lede on x86 {GER} Configuration for EM/MC Modules {GER} Bringing the module to MBIM mode Thank you for your support Steve! I will return to pfSense as soon as it gets support for my card, don't worry :) -Marcel

Hmm, yup I'm also seeing that now. I had rebooted into single user mode rather than trying to use the menu.

Steve

Probably that ^ Is any of it x86? Steve

Sorry, I got the model number wrong, it's SYS-E200-9A. SuperMicro page The total price was under $750 with 16GB of RAM, 128GB of SSD, shipping, and California tax.

@stephenw10 said in Atom E3950 Performance Question: The i210 I believe it limited to 2 queues anyway, I'm insure about i211. Steve My understanding is i210 has up to 4 queues and the i211 has up to 2. Which is why the MBT-4220 (4-Core) uses the i210 and the MBT-2220 (2-Core) uses i211. See table 1-6 on page 11... https://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/public/us/en/documents/datasheets/i211-ethernet-controller-datasheet.pdf

Oh, beginner mistakes: D pfsense runs already fine ;) thank you!

Moved to hardware. This is very definitely not official hardware! Most socket 775 CPUs will work. The best source is to check the XTM5 thread. However why do you need to upgrade? That CPU is already close to the fastest you can get for that. No CPUs that will work there have AES-NI. Steve

That's why I try to ask those who have same hardware face the same issue or not. Well, gonna swap it this weekend to find it out. Thanks anyway, will update again after testing.

Thank you for your swift reply :) Honestly i haven't tested to much, but your reply gave me a bit more confidence that the problem is not with the hardware, but poor networking elsewhere. I will do some more testing and report back my findings.

@slimaxpower said in Looking for Low Power Budget Build Suggestions (BC, Canada): @rnatalli until they fail. I have just replaced my current system (n54l) with an i7 4770 with multiple intel pcie nics 80+ PSU so its low power with way more grunt than I will ever need. My current system CPU is always above 60% and 8gb out of 16gb ram usage. that's without snort or vpn active. edit. around 300aud Hi @SLIMaxPower would it be possible to get some more details of your build please? I'm also in Australia, finding it hard to put together something low-power for around the $300 level that would suit. Thanks!
