Unusually slow internet

eiger3970

I connect my modem to my computer and internet is a functional speed for downloads and streaming.

However, with the modem via the vm router 2.4.4-RELEASE-p2, internet is too slow.
I cannot download updates and often the error is:
Could not resolve host: host.com.

I have changed the vm router's dns from 1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1 to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 however no improvement.

Any suggestions please?

I'd be happy to download the pfSense update or the hypervisor to download some packages. No need for streaming.

Handing over for free (I won't use the word "selling" any more) your private DNS info to those companies give you a minimal gain ...
When things do not work as advertised, remove or undo your own settings, like these third party DNS settings.
Default DNS just works.

Same thing for other error prone things like using a VM : correct it properly or don't use it. Some VM guidelines are present in the manual.

Sorry, can't say more, as there are no other indications in your message.

Thanks for the reminder, I reverted the DNS back to the default 1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1.
The VM is all default settings.

@eiger3970 said in Unusually slow internet:

from 1.1.1.1: icmp_seq=38 ttl=53 time=24698.997 ms

then I would not use 1.1.1.1. .....

Btw : "24698.997 ms" doesn't say anything.
Could be very bad hardware simulation (VM). Or something upstream ?
I presume, when you remove the VM out of the equation, the problem is gone ?
So, again, can't say no more as : learn how to set up you VM correctly and you're done.

Thanks.
This pfSense VM article is what I followed.

Bit confused with the interfaces, so that may be an issue.
