Srcds poor performance with pf
-
hi
so i have just switched out my dlink dir 655 router with a pfSense server.
The server spesefications is:CPU: Intel P4 2.8ghz
Mem: 512 mb
network: Realtek 100mbit, and 3Com 100mbitThis configuration is holding up my home network and my three servers.
As a hobby i host Counter-Strike Source servers which all are very populare.
The problem is that i cant get them to run as smooth as with the dlink router… which is really sad since i really like pfsense.
Anyone has any fine tunings advice?
Thanks :)

For gaming, using static ports is recommended. You enable Advanced Outbound NAT to do this, do a search if you are unfamiliar with AON.
-
Yes, i have done that;) it fixed some seriouse lag issues, but some players are still complaining about lag…
ideas?
-
If lag is an issue, then setup Traffic Shaping and allow your Counter Strike Server's IP and the CS ports to have a higher priority.
-
hmm, when i setup traffic shaping and reboot the pfsense box, i do not get to visit any webpages and connect to other servers… Have i done something wrong?:P
i just followed the wizard...
-
Havent used the Traffic Shaper Wizard in a while, but I remember seeing an error like this on the forum. Are you using a recent snapshot?
-
i use 1.2.3, no updates what so ever other than RCs and Betas

Can you verify if your nic's support ALTQ?
-
The Realtek and 3com should be supported under ALTQ.
@TS: Can you verify that the default allow any LAN NAT rule is in place?
