(yet another) IPsec throughput help request

@SpaceBass Intel NICs?
-
@michmoor
thanks for the continued troubleshooting help!US - intel bare metal
Europe - VirtIO, host NIC in Intel -
You may try to adjust your MTU/MSS Settings on both sides equally to exactly these numbers here:
-
@pete35 I dont (currently) use an interface for ipsec
-
@SpaceBass Do you have any Cryptographic Acceleration? Is it on?
-
@michmoor AES-NI, yes it is active on both pfSense machines
-
you can try to set MSS Clamping under system/advanced/firewall&Nat
Why dont you use routed vti?

For Tunnel mode MSS 1328 is most effective:

Nice, but now you have to find a way to the paring jungle how it will work fast on both ways.
Looks like US -> EU runs a other way than EU -> US.We talk about that, in our last meeting and the solution is not easy.
One Point is to use a Cloud Service Provider he is present on both sides and you can use the interconnect between this cloud instances. -
@NOCling and unfortunately my success was very short-lived ...
It looks like iperf3 traffic is still improved, but I'm moving data at 500kB/s - 1.50MB/s -
@SpaceBass if you temp switch to Wireguard does the issue follow?
If it does it may not be MTU related. -
How do you move your Data?
SMB is a very bad decision for high latency ways, you need rsync or other wan optimized protocols. -

rsync - have tried both an NFSv4 mount and over ssh (for testing purpose)
