      Hi,
      I have installed iperf on pfsense and tried to gauge speed from my pc on differnt interfaces (to assess speed of elcheapo usb adapter .. wifi … and some lan cards .. )

      i have started it in server mode form pfsense diagnostic mode but i dont know on which ip is it listening  as i have a lot of lan interfaces ..

      edit:
      i ran it through command after i sshed to pfbox.

      i ran below command on pfsense box
      iperf -s -p 5001

      and on windows client connected via a usb nic ran below command

      iperf3  -c 192.168.33.10 -p 5001 -t 20 -i 2

      below is shown on pfbox screen with no updates .. and on windows machine the input command is the last command and no results shwon.

      
      ^C[2.2.5-RELEASE][admin@sed.local]/root: iperf -s -p 5001
