      Yes on PC on network 2 running both Apps.
      Pcap is taken from within pfsense webgui (pointed to problematic Lan).
      ICMP is me pining google.com from that same pc.

      I really appreciate your willingness to run it on your end and would happily walk you though how to do that. You will need a wallet address (or donation address), and a partition NVME or SSD with about 200Gb free to run the node and farmer.

      How do want to proceed ?

        @srytryagn have like 600GB free on my nmve drive, and like 850GB on my 1TB scratch SSD..

        What coin is this? Prob not run it long enough to do anything of worth.. But could I just donate to your wallet?

        Do you have a link to setup/guide - I am really curious on what the connection is suppose to do actually, etc. And also see if it takes down my network ;)

        On a side note - do you have checksums and offloading enabled?

        Under advanced networking, what specific nics do you have? Are they realtek?

              @srytryagn saw your chat - so what about these settings for your offloading?

                @johnpoz Which ones need to be enabled in pfgui?
                {Running intel quad port NIC, well capable for offload. }

                  @srytryagn I would still try disabling them.. Its not going to make it worse.. There have been known issues with offloading. Do what I have set in my picture.

                  You will need to reboot pfsense.. if I find some time tmrw will go through the setup, if not will try over the weekend.. But there is a lot of football on this weekend ;)

                    @johnpoz I have tried configuring hwoffloading as you mentioned, rebooted, and ... same thing, network dead when running apps.

                      @srytryagn I have a bunch of stuff going on with real work today.. But I looked at it does seem pretty easy to setup.. Prob do it tmrw before the games start ;)

                        @johnpoz Thought to mention that I am running a pppoe connection from my ISP.
                        Could this be a factor or some setting that is amiss?

                          @johnpoz Any idea if pppoe passthrough is the potential issue ? Still struggling to find a solution, any input from you or others would be much appreciated.

                            As opposed to having the ISP device doing PPPoE?

                            There is an MTU reduction due to the overhead unless you can set 'mini-jumbo' frames upstream.

                            There is a single core restriction running PPPoE on pfSense itself so you can hit a CPU limit without realising it if you don't check the per-core usage.

                              @stephenw10 I do not understand what you mean, I am running a ISP combos box pfsense connects through pppoe. Could you expand on your suggestion as it may be helpful -> How do I set 'mini-jumbo' frames upstream ?

                              Is there any solution to the pppor restriction on pfsense or workwround ?

                                If the ISP router is terminating the PPPoE session then none of that applies. It only applies if that is bridging the PPPoE traffic to pfSense.

                                If PPPoE is terminated on pfSense then:
                                https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/hardware/tune.html#pppoe-with-multi-queue-nics

                                PPPoE adds an 8 byte overhead so to carry the standard 1500B MTU the frames on the parent NIC must be 1508B. Those are referred to as mini-jumbo or baby-jumbo frames (RFC4638).
