Incoming connections to pfsense box from Facebook?

@rasputinthegreatest ah didn't catch the remote in your traffic graph. That will show you the remote IP your talking too.. You would of started the conversation.
Dude your chasing red herrings if you think a few stray packets or connections you don't understand at a few B or KBytes per second is causing your internet upload to suck.,

@johnpoz Ok so at least it was a misunderstanding then what we were looking at. The 34.x.x.x IP is Google CDN and shows up whenever I use Firefox apparently. Seems to be part of Firefox from what I can tell here https://www.reddit.com/r/cybersecurity_help/comments/1h3b0s5/i_have_an_established_connection_to_a_potentially/ and here https://support.mozilla.org/mk/questions/1352614
But coming back to what we talked about regarding the upload getting jammed. I was checking the graph and I didn't see any traffic while my upload speed was low. Only the traffic from the speedtest itself showed up and it wasn't able to reach 50mbit/s in the graph. I also tried a directl connection with Fritzbox and do a speedtest there and the result was still too low. So no switch or anything inbetween that could interfer. I also disabled Wifi on the Fritzbox for the speedtest and it still didn't improve. I can't make sense of it and my ISP is not able to help. When the technician measures the connection directly at the source it is always perfect.

Try connecting your work computer to the source. what do you get?
-
@Uglybrian That's what I did. Connected directly on Fritzbox. Same low speed when the upload is struggling. Also tried with a laptop. The device doesn't matter once it gets jammed for whatever reason.
-
@rasputinthegreatest not how you think throwing pfsense into the mix was going to help you sort out what is clearly an ISP issue or fritzbox issue. One thing pfsense shows you - is its not your client sucking up the pipe.. And its now any sort of inbound traffic..
Contact your isp.. Nobody is going to be able to help you fix an issue with your isp other than your isp.

@johnpoz I think I wrote before but they say everything is fine and no issue can be detected. Had 3 technicians here already. A restart usually solves the problem for a day or sometimes longer. Since the Fritzbox was replaced as well I don't think it is the box to be honest.
What do you mean it's inbound traffic when my upload is affected?
I got pfsense also for learning more about networking not just to check the upload issue. -
@rasputinthegreatest A restart of pfSense, or of the ISP router?
-
@SteveITS Sorry for the late response. Of the ISP router
-
@rasputinthegreatest well - then how is not their router issue then.. Something behind that is even pfsense still has to go through that device..
-
@johnpoz I don't know. I didn't have any upload issues for 4 days at this point and nothing changed since then.
