      I saw the post and redid a test on my side, and the same behaviour, not getting the throughput. I have to test again, but thad the same throtling on multiple ISP with different servers all with HAproxy...

        @S_m not sure how you get this really. If I download file bigger than 1gb it easily take full bandwidth in my case.

          @dragoangel I can get full bandwidth between VLANs, and saturate the link on the ISP side, but when I'm out of my ISP things jagged output.

          I can have easy on my box with iPerfs or speedtest.org peaks of 950mbit download.. and upload.. So it's a mess not being able to use HA proxy to deliver high throughput.

            @S_m Haproxy doesn't change any workflow comparing vlan and ISP, I think it obvious. And obvious where the issue located as problem start only at ISP.

              @dragoangel the main issue is the jagged throughput only happens when traffic goes through HAproxy over internet. But if I put the traffic directly (port forward) goes perfectly fine at maximum speed.

                @S_m what if you setup haproxy on Linux and nat it over pfsense?

                  @dragoangel after the first post and when COVID first started ... I tested another scenarios:
                  ---> NAT nginx: better throughput!
                  ---> HAproxy on Linux Server : Same behavour with other ISP
                  ---> Another pfsense with HAproxy: same issues.

                    @S_m if you have same result on multiple os (freebsd/linux) and with multiple ISP then ask haproxy directly on their forum, but this really sound strange

                      Yes, I need to test this on another country, on Spain I get this bad results. Trying to diagnose what really happened, The post is because of the problem happened on my pfsense.

                      That's why having someone test this too would be great.

                        @S_m if you create post at haproxy community it will be good if you cross link posts to haproxy and from.

                          @S_m do you tried http/2? In theory it not help on one big file but still. Also you can try something like loader.io
