        Max throughput can be reached on a bare bone system. A VM will always add overhead.

        What has been done with pfSense : see one of the many Youtube videos.
        I guess it can't up-scale forever, and thats why TNSR was created.

        No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
        Edit : and where are the logs ??
