pfSense 2.4.4-RC on VMWare slow throughput

Overloader

I have installed pfsense version 2.4.4-RC (amd64) built on Tue Sep 18 17:52:29 EDT 2018 FreeBSD 11.2-RELEASE-p3 on a virtual cloud server with VMWare. I also installed Open-VM-Tools 10.1.0,1. The download speed is 8.87 Mbit/s and upload speed is 4.09 Mbit/s. I have no errors or collisions. I can't choose others than default/auto at Speed and Duplex on WAN interface.

Any idea what's going on here? Are the network settings correct? BTW same behavior with pfSense 2.4.3.

Settings under System -> Advanced -> Networking are:

Hardware Checksum Offloading: enabled (not checked)
Hardware TCP Segmentation Offloading: disabled (checked)
Hardware Large Receive Offloading: disabled (checked)

Output of ifconfig -m vmx0

Thanks in advance.

Strange behaviour. If I use speedtest-cli download is slow on pfsense.

Testing download speed................................................................................
Download: 8.88 Mbit/s
Testing upload speed................................................................................................
Upload: 4.08 Mbit/s

If I use curl -L https://frafiles.pfsense.org/mirror/downloads/pfSense-CE-2.4.3-RELEASE-amd64.iso.gz --output test.iso I get full speed on pfsense.

But IPsec tunnel connection is very slow via curl and speedtest is ok. I have 100 MBit down and 40 MBit up.

Uupdate: It looks like it's a VPN IPsec limitation of FritzBox 7590?
