      @Gertjan said in WAN interface interrupts:

      Your hardware is waaaay over scaled

      What do you mean? and what have to do for avoid this?

          It's very easy to bring this '400' interrupts down : disconnect all your LAN connections and recheck

          Yea , but what the reason to use pfsense without LAN)))

            @Gertjan Checked out now, about 150/s.

              400/s doesn't seem unusual if it's been moving 1Gbps since the stats were reset. And it looks like you data was recently reset which means the average value shown there will be much more affected by spikes in throughput.

                @stephenw10 As me posted above command: top -HaSP

                My cpu cores almost idle 100%. Is it possible to test to be sure that pfSense can use all cores? or could me need to set some specific option in /boot/load.conf.local. May be pfSense do not see all cores normally? Colud be need to set PowerD instead Speed Shift?

                  Run top -HaSP and then test. You'll see how the load is distributed across the cores.

                    Tested with speed test
                    Core1 about 75-80
                    Core2 about 90-95
                    Core3 and Core4 about 95-100

                    During browsering all almost 100 idle

                      OK so loading on all cores. I'm really not seeing a problem here.
