Install pfsense on RB4011iGS

@daddygo theoretically I have 1 gig of bandwidth.
with apu2 and the same hardware of your guide an AMT GX-412TC 4 core, i download maximum 250megabit.
with a mikrotik, my speed test is 800megabit

Without OVPN and without running heavy app(s), the APU2 MOBO (w 4GB RAM) knows a speed of nearly 1Gig

so something will be wrong with your settings,

pls. look around here too:

@foolish86 I don't understand why you would want to put pfSense on a device designed for Mikrotik. I can tell you that pfSense and Mikrotik complement one's network ... in my system, pfSense is the king of my WAN and Mikrotik (RB450x2) is king of my LAN. I have IDS/IPS on pfSense as well as DHCP on Mikrotik for all devices ... even double NAT ... no problem.

with Mikrotik the speed is

with PFsense is

PPPoE should not be a problem for pfSense.
Did you check this? MTU 1492

PPPoE absolutely can be a problem for pfSense. It can only use a single receive queue and hence a single CPU core. I would still expect more than 250Mbps on most platforms though.

You should try the tunables shown here:

Yup,

Not a good wording,.... this is not a pfSense issue but Multi-Queue NICs + multiple CPU cores, this is a question of all such hardware.

I thought the OP was already beyond reading the pfSense handbook.

But that was the right guideline, it never occurred to me.
