Slow internet when behind pfsense
-
i'm new to all this so bear with me as i have little to no knowledge with pfsense and my networking skills do lack.
the internet connection is very slow when going through pfsense. they have a fios connection that is 75/25. when i do the basic online speed test from behind the pfsense box i get 35/0.33. when i eliminate the pfsense box i get about 70/23
set up:
Fios ONT - pfsense - switch - pc = 35/0.33
Fios ONT - pc = 70/23i removed all traffic shapers that were put in, but it did not help. there are no limiters in place either. everything on the lan side is working fine.

Have you inherited this pfSense install then? There is no traffic shaping enabled by default.
What hardware are you running on? As much detail as possible please.Steve

thanks for replying. i inherited this box from somebody else.
i don't know if he put the traffic shaper or not, but there was some shaping being done. i removed them all yesterday, but it didn't help so i restored everything back to where it was. just a few minutes ago i tried removing them again and it worked. i guess restoring everything allowed me to remove the traffic shaper. weird, but we're in business. thanks
