is it normal to loose WAN speed to compared to to Pfsense?

There are public iperf servers you can test against, find one close to you. Doing so means you can use the same server from pfSense and the client behind it for a much closer test.

@AKEGEC

no i dont have 2nd line.. was looking at getting one ad go with different internet provider.. as i pay 90+ for 5mbp download 600k(ish up)
how can i double it

Well it is very easy actually, you need to know your ISP (latest)modem network card (whitelisted)chip model. But I see you don't have 2 active lines so there is no use.

Yes, you can use both to speed up the process of the speed. Make sure that you have both lines active.

Both what? Unclear what you're referring to here.

sorry for the delay had family issues I had to deal with and with this covid issues has made family issues harder to deal with

but I finally home and I just ran the iperf
so left side Pfsense box right side is the windows Desktop no vpn no nothing

I had issues getting servers to work.. this one I using that worked was a Moscow one I couldn't get the usa public one I found and none in Canada I found all the servers were busy it said

stephenw10

Hmm, well I would retry until you are able to connect to something closer to you. iperf.scottlinux.com works for me (although that's actually no-where near me )

You should run the test in both directions and use multiple streams so:
iperf3 -c iperf.scottlinux.com -P 4
and
iperf3 -c iperf.scottlinux.com -R -P 4
