I have see pfsense traffice.It's no too high traffice.Please see attachment.
What's is this problem?

[Harvy66]

Are you doing any traffic shaping? A common issue is people enable shaping, but then have too small of queue buffers, which default to only 50.

I also noticed your ping is distinctly higher, even if only ~0.5ms. It could just be my system, but I have no measurable difference in ping to an ISP local target compared to going through PFSense or not. Identical to the hundredths position for both average and std-dev. It probably doesn't mean anything.

Also, it might help to know what network adapters you're using.
