      Hi,

      I getting slow connection behind pfsense. My first ISP speed was 10Mbps down/10Mbps up and my second IS was 10Mbps down / 1 Mbps up. Without firewall the speed is ok but behind firewall I get 2Mbps down on both ISP. I disabled squid and squidguard but same result. No any Speed Limiter or QoS.  I setup my pfsense as failover. I'm using pfsense 2.2.2 x64

      I have any misconfiguration?
      Do I need to tune up anything?
      Just ask if you need more details

      Please help me.

      Thank you.

      Here is my network

      1st and 2nd ISP –-> PFsense ---> Laptop

      My PFsense Server

      ASUS B85 Pro Motherboard
      Intel cire i3 (4 core)
      2 x 4 GB Kingston
      500GB HD Seagate
      3 Intel Pro/1000 MT Dual Port Server Adapter

      Here is some screenshots of my config

        Have to used iperf or anything to speed test to/through your firewall? What does you your firewall load look like when you're attempting to transfer data?

          DO NOT set a source address/port in a port forward or firewall rule unless you KNOW you need it!

            @Derelict:

            Yes that also my concern..

            @Harvy66:

            I cannot test iperf yet because I don't have iperf server to test. CPU load in heavy use 0.3% and mem use 90 Mb

            FYI i'm using Intel Pro/1000 MT Dual Port Server Adapter, is there any issue using dual port nic?

            Thanks,

              Well, I now see you're pinging 8.8.8.8.  Guess it's far from you.  Maybe try using something closer.
