Packet Loss during online backup
-
When running an online backup to Wasabi I see a lot of packet loss. At all other times this is fine.
I not my WG VPN link also shows Latency during these times however the backup traffic is not via the VPN.
I have other sites backing up to Wasabi via pfSense without this problem.

It's not uncommon to see latency or loss on a PPPoE link when the upload is saturated.
Is that still monitoring the gateway IP directly or something remote?
If it's still the gateway the first thing I would do is set it to something external to get better data. The gateway itself can drop pings as low priority.I would guess the other sites are using a different WAN type?

Then first set the monitoring IP to something external in System > Routing Gateway. Edit the gateway. Many people use 8.8.8.8 for example.
That will give you a better idea of what's happening. But if you are completely saturating the link during upload it may just be the behaviour of the link.

Set the monitoring IP to 8.8.8.8, same results.
As you mentioned above the issue was the upload was being saturated I enabled a limiter for outbound traffic to match the ISP upload band bandwidth and the problem has gone.

Nice
