PfSense plus 23.01,05 over Proxmox: disable checksum offloading on nic not necessary ?

[Luca De Andreis]

Hello everyone !

I have been using PfSense with Proxmox for many years, I remember well that using NIC VIRTIO it was necessary to disable checksum offloading on the NIC:

However, recently (Proxmox 7.4 -> Qemu 7.x -> PfSense on kernel 14.0 : Pfsense 23.01-05) I installed several new virtual firewalls and forgot this workaround ..... after months I remembered, and in fact it is not set (see the picture....).
I was amazed that everything works perfectly.

Is that tuning no longer necessary ? I remember that at one time the network did not work without....

Thanks

Luca

@NollipfSense that's why it works correctly, it disables it automatically (although it's always good to disable it ALSO manually)

Thank you very much
