Speedtest for Netgate appliances (arm64)

[DominikHoffmann]

Is anyone aware of a Ookla Speedtest package that can be compiled for arm64 and used on pfSense appliances?

Not that I know of. But you can read through this thread:
Speedtest-CLI
and you'll find that you're better off running Speedtest from a client inside your FW. HTH

@provels: Giving up on Speedtest on the appliance!

This method is pretty bulletproof for me on x86, try it out:

As per this page How To Install Speedtest-cli On a FreeBSD To Check Internet Speed, I simply ran these two commands in the GUI at Diagnostics / Command Prompt / Execute Shell Command:

pkg search speedtest

This returned the following:
py38-speedtest-cli-2.1.3
Command line interface for testing internet bandwidth

so I ran this command:

pkg install -y py38-speedtest-cli-2.1.3

Then from there I simply run speedtest
