Okay now i have to go.

@orkopaede you can always just kill any state in the state table directly. Under diagnostics, state table.

edit:
That seems low for whatever reason.. Notice in mine it was a very small hit to the speed, compared to just lan to lan speed.. And your on an I5.. I would think that is more powerful than my sg4860..

Orkopaede

@johnpoz i selected the wrong interface...

LAN not TESTINTERNET

johnpoz

@orkopaede yeah you need to put the nat on the correct interface for the direction of your traffic flow ;)

Orkopaede

@johnpoz ok i tested it a bit further and i think it is a windows problem. I repeated the tests on a Linux PC and I always got my 200Mbit without establishing multiple connections (iperf option -P). I don't think I have to bother anyone here with this topic. ;) Thank you once again for the help.

@orkopaede said in Throughput from Lan to Wan:

~~did you actually enable window scaling - all the posts you show it disabled.~~

edit: never mind looks like you did enable it.

SteveITS

@orkopaede I don’t see in the thread that you checked traffic shaping? I’ve seen many threads where an old setting was left enabled.

Orkopaede

@steveits Hi, traffic shaping is disabled on all Interface. I never touched this part of pfsense.

Orkopaede

@orkopaede So i guess it is what it is... a Windows problem.
When i find the Problem i will post it here, hopefully with a solution.

NightlyShark

@orkopaede Hi! Run wireshark on the Windows machine and see if anything catches your eye. Also check Windows power-saving for the NIC you are connecting from. For some poorly written drivers, Windows tends to make some bass-ackwards assumptions about what "energy saving" vs "disrupting key functionality" means.
