      Hello Pfsense Community,

      im running a pfsense installation on proxmox virtualisation.

      Pfsense is up to date: 2.2.6

      Pfsense Settings:

      • Enable device polling
      • Disable hardware checksum offload
      • Disable hardware TCP segmentation offload
      • Disable hardware large receive offload

      I use virtio network devices (10GB)
      2 Core and 10GB RAM
      CPU is on both systems: qemu64
      Proxmox: version 3.4-6
      In another VM im running FreeBSD-10.1-RELEASE-amd64.

      The Problem is the troughput with pfsense. I test the troughput from pfsense to my linux vm or FreeBSD Testsystem to

      FreeBSD Testsystem: 1.42Gbits/sec
      Pfsense: 73.9 Mbits/sec

      Same Problem with the internet connection. From WAN: 150Mbit and with Pfsense only 90Mbit. :(

      My first idea was, that it is a FreeBSD Problem, but since i tested the used FreeBSD Version im sure that this is a pfsense problem.

      Any ideas, any tips ?

        Problem fixed: Upgrade Proxmox to new Version: 4.1 … due to newer virtio driver. Pfsense cannot good with old one.

          Can I ask what type of throughput you are seeing now, and at what CPU loads?
