        What do you mean by "WAN optimization"?

        PfSense running on Qotom mini PC
        i5 CPU, 4 GB memory, 32 GB SSD & 4 Intel Gb Ethernet ports.
        UniFi AC-Lite access point

        I haven't lost my mind. It's around here...somewhere...

            You may be able to realize that if you create a small DMZ and place the S/FTP or FTP/S server inside of that
            DMZ and then you would be only open ports and forwarding protocols to that server, together with Snort as a
            IDS solution you will be able to inspect the entire traffic to that DMZ. It could be speeding the throughputbut
            with the right pf firewall rules according to that DMZ and on top IDS sniffing it is also a safe thing.
