pfSense is slowing down my internet
-
Hi,
I have attached the diagram how my pfsense goes..Internet speed through WAN is 145Mbps download and upload, When I use internet through LAN and DMZ, which it is not crossing 60-65mbps download and upload.
I have checked all my Physical NIC's are set to Auto in physical Servers.(Physical NIC max 1Gbps)
Pfsense is installed as VM in VMware workstation and allocated 8GB RAM and 6core Vcpu. when I access internet through LAN/DMZ the usage of CPU and RAM is not crossing 25% in pfsenseI have 12 VMs on my VMware workstation
7 VM's connected as LAN through PFsense
5 VM's connected as DMZ through pfsense.Let me know what could be the issue.
Thanks

Consider moving things to a proper hypervisor too.
Either vpshere/kvm/ms hypervVirtualbox and vmware workstation weren't meant for production grade performance too.

My settings are same as shown in screen shot...
Pls let me check whether I need to check some other settings ?Note : I am using this for home Lab use..

Your setup is wrong...
Pfsense should be the frontend and your internet should be connected directly to pfsense unless you have a switch with VLAN's.

@cool_corona It is already like that, isn't it....

See the diagram pfsense is in front end only which is a VM on VMware workstation on physical server.
All my internet connection will go through Pfsense,
To connect my LAN I have used Switch simple...Physical Server have two NIC's .
First NIC is connected to WAN(Internet)
Second NIC Connected to switch which will take LAN(internal)connection
like Wifi router, Desktop, Laptop, printer etc...I dont see this setup is wrong..
Pls let me know or draw simple diagram to understand.

Issue resolved, I have moved all my VM's to Hyper-V and I am getting 100% band with of 145Mbps download and upload.
Thanks for the support guys...
