pfSense CE Wireguard Throughput
-
Hello everyone,
I just upgraded my home appliance, from a N5105 to a N100, but i had to downgrade from pfSense Plus (old home license) to CE 2.7.2.
At my parents home i have the same N5105 that i just replaced at my home, but with pfSense Plus still installed.
I have both at my home and at my parents home a symmetrical 1Gbps internet connection and with pfSense Plus at both sites i was able to saturate it with a Wireguard tunnel.
Sorry for the bad quality of the photo, but i had to dig this photo from an old chat with a friend, i don't have a "before" openspeedtest screenshot unfortunately.
After the downgrade to CE, I'm "only" getting around 700-750Mbps.
Does anybody knows if there's a difference between Plus and CE for Wireguard?
And if there is, does someone know if it's coming to CE too?
I don't really wanna pay for the Plus upgrade, 260$ yearly just to get 200Mbps more is crazy expensive.Thanks

@gguglielmi No, definitely not at least at the feature level.
Cpu wise is better, but again is irrelevant.
is it pppoe? how much cpu load do you get? Any packet loss?
Wiregard is v0.2.9 on plus and 0.2.1 on 2.7 ce.
I doubt it has difference in performance, but it could be.
In any case 2.8ce will be out soon. -
