        The graphs should show here:

        There's pretty much no traffic passing that test box though

              But there where no RAM issues I think in the SG-1100:
              (My main box Dell server 16Gb RAM hits 1 million Mbuff max. What are normal numbers?)

                1M is waay higher than it ever needs to be but that's currently the default for x86.

                The ~50K you see there is the default for the 1100. It does look like something is leaking there though.

                What do you have configured on that box?

                  • 2 workstations with VPN connecting to ext.office where servers are running. Nextcloud, Zimbra etc.
                  • When workstations are not running, some 2-3 mobile phones at a time max. now and then. Thats it.
                  • a satelite receiver connected with CCca*m to decode channels. (NOT streaming)

                  When it comes to installed packages it is just PfBlocker, nothing else on the default / fresh configuration.
                  It had many PRI1-2-3-4-5 lists on it. Switching Pfblocker off makes the differences of above.
                  What I'm trying now is just the most important blocklists, some 8-9 lists of PRI 1-2-3.

                    So that's the OpenVPN on the firewall?

                    Do you have anything configured like igmpproxy or traffic shaping?

                    Anything less common like PPPoE server or L2TP?

                      No nothing at all like that, just OpenVPN (and Pfblocker)

                        Just to be clear the workstations using a VPN are using the OpenVPN link on firewall? Rather than VPNs from each workstation directly?
