        The only thing that got webpages loaded on endpoints was to reduce the MTU on the client machines. Seems like a bug in pfSense to me.

          Can you try disabling the setting of Asynchronous Cryptography?

          This is located in VPN - IPSEC - Advanced setting bottom of the page.

            Thank you for the suggestion. I will try this as soon as I can. But one question is the setting symmetric or can I just can the remote end.. (Windows Workstation).

            TIA --

              That setting was just released in 2.4.4, as far as I know it's only on the pfSense side:

              IPsec Speed Improvements: The new Asynchronous Cryptography option under the IPsec Advanced Settings tab can dramatically improve IPsec performance on multi-core hardware.

                Sorry I asked the question wrong this is two pfSense units. a 3100 and a 7100. the Windows box sits at the 3100 (remote) end. Should I turn the option off in both or can I just turn it off in the 3100.

                  I would be interested in the following combinations if you have the ability to test:

                  1: 3100 off, 7100 on
                  2: 3100 on, 7100 off
                  3: 3100 off, 7100 off

                      Quick update.  So I found out today that the 7100 are at 2.4.1 . Additionally, by hands & eyes at the other end is unavailable to work with me till next week and I can not risk locking myself out while he is away so this will have to wait.

                        @chrismacmahon - this setting was already disabled in my config - I don't have the box Asynchronous Cryptography checked.
