      Hello, I have fiber. If I don't use pfsense, I have a ping (latency) of 4ms.
      When I integrate pfsense into my network, the speed is really correct, but the ping is doubled (between 8 and 10ms). (test carried out on speedtest.net in 1Gbits ethernet connection).

      Without pfsense my throughput is 900Mbits. With pfsense, my speed is 800 / 850Mbits, it's very correct I think.

      When I look at the monitoring, everything is fine, the processor never exceeds 15%, and the RAM does not exceed 9% of use.

      Is the increase in latency normal?

      I use my old macbook pro 2011 :
      Intel Core i5 à 2,4 GHz
      8Go RAM
      SSD 512G
      1 ethernet 1Gb from motherboard for LAN
      1 ethernet 1Gb Thunderbolt for WAN

      No packages, just the basic pfsense last stable version.

      How to solve this problem ?
      Thank you so much.

        @mathais you haven’t given much details.

        1. What are your pfsense specs? Using official hardware or a white box?
        2. What packages if any do you have installed (pfblocker, Suricata, snort)

              Hi,
              Still having this latency.
              Maybe it's normal ?

              In your pfsense, do you have the same problem ?
              Does the ping increase slightly after pfsense ?

              Thanx
