      Hello, I have a super micro 1537 Netgate box and have a 1 Gig link to the WAN and a server directly connected to another 1 gig port on the LAN. My current issue is that with any VPN I have tried setting up in pfsense (Wireguard, OpenVPN, and Sonic Wall on a standalone box connected to the LAN) When I try to rsync a file or send via SFTP the transfer speed gets stuck around 3MB.

      I have enabled some cryptographic acceleration options:
      IPsec-MB - Checked
      Cryptographic Hardware - AES-NI CPU-based Acceleration
      Thermal Sensors - Intel Core* CPU on-die thermal sensor

      And the offloading settings under advanced > networking > network interfaces:
      Hardware Checksum Offloading - Unchecked
      Hardware TCP Segmentation Offloading - Checked
      Hardware large Receive Offloading - Checked

      Here are the specs in the dashboard:
      System Super Micro 1537

      BIOS Vendor: American Megatrends Inc.
      Version: 2.0c
      Release Date: Thu Jun 27 2019
      Boot Environment Current: default
      Next: default
      Version 24.03-RELEASE (amd64)
      built on Wed Apr 24 10:38:00 MST 2024
      FreeBSD 15.0-CURRENT

      The system is on the latest version.
      Version information updated at Tue Sep 17 7:13:34 MST 2024

      CPU Type Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU D-1537 @ 1.70GHz
      Current: 1700 MHz, Max: 1701 MHz
      16 CPUs : 1 package(s) x 8 core(s) x 2 hardware threads
      AES-NI CPU Crypto: Yes (active)
      IPsec-MB Crypto: Yes (active)
      QAT Crypto: No

      Also, there are no traffic shaping rules in place.

      Is there anything I can check or change to get faster speeds using rsync/SFTP?
