The curl command is not working correctly
-
I have already configured OpenVPN in tap mode. Now I don't know what to do xD. On the LAN interface on the local pfsense side, can I put the ip address 185.113.141.1/24? I don't know if it will make sense.
Thanks

I created a bridge between the WAN and OpenVPN on the remote side and a bridge between the LAN (I removed the LAN IP) and OpenVPN on the local side. Everything seems to be working perfectly.
A big thank you for the help.

Nice! Yup bridges are needed at both ends as you added.

@stephenw10 Hello! I did the same setup as @s_serra and for some reason with that config my network is pretty slow, i usually have 200 download and now went to 50, any idea why?
-
How are you testing? From where? What WAN bandwidths do you have at each end of the tunnel?
-
@stephenw10 On each pf wan I allways have more than 500/500 and i executed an iperf of the vm behind the pf to the local pf and got around 3gbps
-
What latency do you have over the tunnel?
Try an iperf test between the two pfSense instances directly. Try to determine where the throttling is actually happening.

@stephenw10
Iperf between both pf's without going through the tunnel:
Local Pf logs (This pf is on a vm inside the proxmox)
SpeedTest on a VM with the tunnel working:
-
Do you see the same results in both directions?
That's a lot of variation in the result, even outside the tunnel.
How much traffic is running through that local pfSense? How much RAM does it have?
You can increase the state table size in Sys > Adv > Firewall+NAT but exhausting it usually implies some very high use. You may need to reduce the state timeouts so the table is pruned more frequently.
-
There's the iperf of the other direction:
The only traffic is from speedtest, im not running anything else and the pf has 8GB Ram and 8 Cores

Are those showing bits or bytes there?
How are you testing across the tunnel? Also with iperf?

It's Bytes
This is on the tunnel and the ips are:
10.0.8.1 -> OpenVPN remote Tunnel
10.0.8.2 -> OpenVPN local Tunnel -
Hmm, how is the tunnel configured? Is it using UDP? There are a lot of retries there, it could be an MTU issue.
Sometime the openvpn interface does not behave as expected when used directly or services like that. Try using an internal IP as source if you can. Though in a bridge it shouldn't really matter.

You should set AES-GCM and enable UDP Fast I/O for better performance there.
However that isn't going to get you to the full rate there.
You are seeing ~15ms across the tunnel?
Did you bump the state table size?

Those images are too small to read I think.

@stephenw10 Im trying to send them as image instead of attachment but they are too large, do you mind if i send them with imgur?

Mmm, OK so no significant difference to throughput. I assume neither side shows any CPU cores at 100%?
I would try setting a lower MSS value and see if that makes any difference. If it does try to fins the actual tunnel MTU with some large pings.
Packet fragmentation across the tunnel can cause significant throttling. -
While downloading:
While uploading:
MSS -> 576 -> OpenVPN interface and bridge
MSS -> 1152
MSS -> 2304
MSS -> 4608
About the MTU i cant change on the interfaces because it says "This interface is a bridge member, its MTU is controlled by its parent bridge interface."
