*RANT* Why pfsense is popular

edseitzinger

What does http://us-looking-glass.battle.net/ show from realm your on to the your IP?

Lets see a sniff of this problem.

So put pfsense behind your GF device in a double nat.. Do you have the problem then vs replacement and the vlan tagging your doing..

Lets see your looking glass traces with your GF and Pfsense and then your untangle - the one thing that would be most likely changing would be your IP.. Are you on the same netblock when you swap out devices.. Your routing could be completely different based upon network your on with google..

if your saying untangle does not have the problem - lets see sniff on untangle wan with it working good, and then sniff on pfsense wan with it bad..

I was going to try untangled but I can't set the priority bit so had to bypass that set of testing….

Here is the Looking Glass out put and it doesn't look good....

Derelict

So what is the perceived issue there?

If you want your WAN port to respond to pings you have to enable a firewall rule on WAN passing ICMP source any dest WAN address.

All unsolicited inbound traffic is blocked by default. Even pings.

Ok I had forgotten about that…..

Why do the first couple pings/tracert bottom out and the last few complete as normal????

Derelict

Because not every device will respond to traceroute.

Probably more than you want to know about traceroute: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traceroute

(I still don't see any issues there.)

johnpoz

If you want pfsense to show up on a udp traceroute then you have to reject the UDP ports used…. But with Derelict here.. Sure doesn't look like any sort of problem.. 30 something ms looks way lower than that 300-1500 you were stating..

Where are you seeing these numbers... Post a screenshot of these numbers so user here that run wow can help you... I would be more than happy to fire up a trial to just test the latency numbers, etc.

If I knew exactly how your seeing these numbers so I could try and duplicate them so we have apples to apples.. While not on google fiber.. I wish I am using pfsense and have been for really since it came out.. There is nothing that would cause such latency to be added.. Pfsense can not tell packet from your game from packet to websites, or a video packet or a voip packet - they are all just packets that is allows or doesn't allow, etc. It sure doesn't say you know what - let me hold these for 300ms to piss of the game player..

Do a simple sniff on lan and wan at same time via tcpdump - check delay pfsense adds to the packets.. its going to be in the micro seconds..

Here did a simple ping to 8.8.8.8 from lan and sniff on lan and wan at same time.. You can see when my ping hit pfsense lan at 46.907733 and when it left wan at 46.907822 or 89 micro seconds later.. And then you see the answer come back to my host.. .923618 or 15.885 ms later which my ping shows that first ping was 16ms..

The return packet latency was only 0.000035 from the time it hit pfsense wan, to when it was sent out lan to client.. that is 35 micro seconds…

So let us see this sort of sniff with your game traffic going through pfsense and how much latency pfsense ads to this traffic..

I should mention that my HP-1810-24G claims 2.3us forwarding latency, so this is within the range of my switch.

Just waiting to see OP show us these 300+ms delay Pfsense is adding to the packets as it sends them on..

And this might be an issue with Gfiber that you might not see, but the Latency I see is in World Of Warcraft….. https://us.battle.net/account/download/ I know you can play for free up to like level 20 but there is an in game latency tracker (ie network status) and for the record currently I'm sitting at 78 ms and I am good with that, but It may change over night for no particular reason.

Derelict

And?

edseitzinger

Now I did some more lloking and some people are putting an Ubiquiti Edge router off the fiber jack then using a switch behind that and here is a bit of code you have to update the POE version with to work with GFiber.

https://github.com/stevejenkins/UBNT-EdgeRouter-Example-Configs/blob/master/Google-Fiber/config.boot.poe

I did look through the code and while I can read it and it is logical in that it has rules being set up for the various ports, not sure I would be able to translate it into pfsense.

edseitzinger

@Derelict:

And?

And there in lies the the issue, I know all the network traffic looks normal, I get it. And currently in games and my latency is sitting at 78 ms which is right where is should be. This is the maddening part. Hence why this started out as a RANT, I needed to scream into the ether and figure why this was happening.

Derelict

https://flyovercountry.org/2014/02/google-fiber-gigabit-speeds-your-router-part-1-vlans/

Looks like those guys have done most of your research for you.

pfSense can NOT set DSCP bits. It can only match on them. You will likely need to do that in a switch between your fiber and the WAN interface as outlined in that blog.

Your RANT against pfSense is misplaced.

ETA:

You might be able to get closer tagging VLAN 2 with VLAN Priority 3 set. https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=71806.msg619859#msg619859

Which btw is exactly how I have it set up. I might be a pfsense newb, just not networking technology hardware know just a little bit what i'm talking about newb. Which is why I had explained before that my speed test were normal, sinse with out the VLAN 2 and the VLAN 802.1p bit set to 3, i would get exactly ZILCH.

RANT still firmly in place.

Derelict

Must be you. And your RANT would be better directed at google fiber - you know, the entity you are actually PAYING - for demanding you use their device with zero documentation regarding using others.

Merry Christmas.

johnpoz

So are you saying you don't have the switch in front of pfsense like the article Derelict linked to setting the dscp?

pfSense4ME

Merry Christmas!

First, some of this is over my head… but...

Please don't forget - did OP ever provide the sniff of where pfSense injects the additional 300ms packets as requested by Johnpoz (post #27)? Why not?

Derelict IMHO is correct, you need to direct your RANT elsewhere and away form pfSense. You won't as you think it's a pfSense issue. It's not. What about the "other firewall/router x64 solutions", did you RANT at them like you have at pfSense? So far you've indicated the issues are with GFiber and/or the switch you currently have in place.

OP - I think it could have greatly help everyone trying to help you if you indicated your setting of DSCP bits in your original post rather than waiting until post #34. Why now vs the very beginning?

If you want to rant/bitch/complain/whatever, great, but do it with all facts presented vs presenting half facts (waiting until #34 to state DSCP setting).

If you want to flame me - do it, I don't care and won't care for the following reasons:

1. Until you honor Johnpoz's request for info requested in post 27 request. If you ever do.
2. You are now a moving target. The people trying to help you make request, maybe you provide info, maybe not. The when VERY convenient to you, you inform everyone this is how I have it set up - post #34. Where was that detail prior?
3. Did you get on ALL the other boards for the "other firewall/router x64 solutions" (post #1) indicating your RANT with them for the same reasons you gave about pfSense? Again, where was that ever mentioned?
4. Most of my questions are rhetorical as if you truly wanted to help yourself you would have provided info to get to a resolution rather than wait to cherry pick responses or provide (additional) info.
5. Accept the blame yourself as it falls squarely on your shoulders.

Personally, I can't take you seriously until ALL the information requested of you IS provided by you. Now just to be sure, don't forget to add the part about - no need now as you have resolved the problem OR how you believe pfSense just doesn't measure up blah blah blah, as now it's convenient time to do so.

johnpoz

He seem to attempt to show the latency of pfsense pinging 8.8.8.8 but he did not run the sniffs at the same time, and it seems he has something else pinging 8.8.8.8 as well… But his sniffs the time nor the seq numbers clearly show they were not sniffed at the same time... So from those its not even possible to calc what latency is being added by pfsense for the routing and natting and evaluation of the firewall rules.

@Derelict:

Must be you. And your RANT would be better directed at google fiber - you know, the entity you are actually PAYING - for demanding you use their device with zero documentation regarding using others.

Merry Christmas.

Never ever did I say I might not be them, I just hadn't gotten to calling local cable company and signing up for a month and remove that possible variable.

Merry Christmas
