PfSence enabled firewall limits speed
-
Hi, I have installed PfSence on my machine, i have 2x10Gbit/s uplinks to this server via Intel nic.
When i test network speed with disabled firewall from System > Advanced, it has very low load and can
use whole my connectivity (but still uses that 2 threads). But with firewall enabled, it can use only 2-3gbit/s and it uses only last 2 threads. (other cpu usage is from speedtest)
Can be firewall configured to use all threads and not only 2? When that 2 threads are used, the whole connectivity starts to lag and ping is growing.
Thanks -
@fluky I don't believe pfsense can actually do 10ge, pretty sure one of the reasons they came out with TNSR
What hardware you running this on?

Here is screenshot, i can get with disabled firewall more than 15Gbit/s, and I have two Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2650L v2 @ 1.70GHz
I want to use firewall only for geoip blocking (PfBlocker).
