    SG-1000 performance

    200Mbps is optimistic IMO.  The most I've seen is between 100-150.  OpenVPN seems to do between 10-12Mbps, but that's without support for the crypto accelerator at the moment so will probably do better when 2.5 finally comes out.

    SG1000 bricked twice now, ufs dir bad

    @kpa: It's an ARM system and FreeBSD on ARM is still much more of "work in progress" than on the more established platforms. There are going to be teething problems like this until the kinks get sorted out by FreeBSD devs and the manufacturers of these devices. "ufs dir bad" suggests that the unit could be fixed by booting into single user mode (usually by selecting single user boot from the FreeBSD boot menu) and running 'fsck -y /dev/<rootfilesystem>' on the root filesystem. If it's the boot code spitting out the error and the boot never makes it to the /boot/loader menu then the only solution would be then somehow mount the eMMC card on another pfSense/FreeBSD system run the fsck there.</rootfilesystem> It's a FreeBSD file system issue, happens across all platforms. FreeBSD on ARM is established, there's always room for improvement. If someone has power issues they should put UPS in place.

    Thanks for the thoughts. I'm gonna work to get traffic shaping setup for my needs. I have something basic rolling now that brings the performance back to something more sane while the backup is rolling. I have Ooma (third party VOIP) some gaming systems, host some personal websites, have this epic backup going, and of course want the internet to be usable for surfing and watching stuff online. I just gotta do it anyway. For now at least, I'm calling this issue closed. I am 99% confident my pfSense performance issues were due to that forgotten backup job without using traffic shaping and I was comparing to my old firewall that had traffic shaping all configured on it. Why it knocked me down so much is a bit of a mystery. I'm assuming the uncontrolled backup traffic was causing contention on the way the speedtest.net site works.

    @kapara: Just purchased one.  If we were to want to run the licensed version of pfsense is that possible?  Pay a fee of some kind? You mean pfSense factory? Factory isn't "licensed". There are no major differences between factory and community edition, just a way to point out an official pfSense system from DIY one.

    @Alex: I have to agree.  After all, the main reason for buying official hardware is the expectation that its 100% supported by pfSense, otherwise why bother? There have been consumer routers released claiming support for DD-WRT or OpenWRT but which were not supported at launch.  They too rightly got flack for misinformation. If a device is being sold as officially supported it should be made absolutely clear of an advertised feature of it is NOT actually supported at that time. The device is fully supported by pfSense. The device was made for pfSense. Future pfSense versions will support the CPU built-in crypto accelerator. The SG-1000 device was released before 2.5 work even began. Crypto accelerator is part of the CPU and it was listed under CPU specification. That's not misinformation or did we anywhere imply this feature is being used by pfSense at the moment. We listed what CPU it has, that is all. We did not mention crypto accelerator in product description or it's potential usage. Lastly, SG-1000 is a 100% open source hardware that runs 100% open source software. Don't imply we are hiding anything here because we are being completely transparent. I am locking this very dumb discussion.

    If I recall correctly, I used the basic x64 ISO to install to the SSD on a laptop. Then when it requested to reboot after the install is when I moved it to the 4860

    There's also the RCC-VE-4860. That's the route I went and just installed pfSense myself.

    Turns out I had traffic shaping on and it was limiting the interface.  As I now have 1GB I really don't need to shape. ;)

    @Dave: Is the SG-23X0 CPU really nearly 4 years old? The SG-2340 uses the Intel Atom E3845 and the SG-2320 uses the Intel Atom E3826 (according to the spec sheets).  So not quite 4 years old…  release date was 4th quarter 2013 on both.

    Ok, that's good to know that there is some additional protection. I'll probably hold off further updates until the 2.4 final release though, since it's a right pain to restore it when you are 1000 km from the box :)

    @mhab12: I would pick something up from the pfSense store or Netgate.  Rumor is the project gets a bit more money if you use https://store.pfsense.org/systems/ I just picked up a 4860 after my old Netgate APU couldn't keep up with my new Cox Gigablast.  I'm able to get about 700mbps via iperf.he.net and I'm thinking the bottleneck is not my hardware.  Most of my stuff is wireless so I haven't been able to do much more testing than what the iperf package in pfsense can provide, though I'm sure I would see nearly wire speed throughput. Not a rumor :) the pfSense project is funded with appliance sales, support subscriptions and Gold subscriptions. Netgate is the company behind the pfSense project. All pfSense developers work at Netgate.

    Your right he did mention a XS728T..  But sounded like he was doing his 2GBps before he setup pfsense? ;) What is the new config/drawing?
