Although, I know that many people see this as a bad thing and possibly pointless. I would really like to see what that 40-60% of my traffic is going to, and have it scanned for malware, etc. I also would really like to eventually get to dialing in https MITM scanning eventually. But I would also like to run a few other things like a syslog server and ntopng/softflowd. I am backing off of squid as most people feel it doesn't make any sense on a gig connection for home users, with limited users downloading the same things repeatedly. I used to want to run pfBlackerNG, Snort, and Squid on it.
I don't think that the E3845 will do it for me even if 833Mbps is my ceiling. He did say that pfSense gives the best performance on the device as compared to some of the other router OSes that I have played with before.Īt this point, my entire picture has changed. That is with no features enabled like IPS. I contacted the owner of the Protectli earlier and he said that they have done synthetic lab tests and reached 930-940Mbps.
I was getting only around 500Mbps at best. I also tried different times of the day and to different servers. I tested from the same laptop cabled to the router and from speedtest-cli on the router. The device has Intel 82583V NICs so I turned on all of the offloading features, and removed all packages from the device to get a baseline. I also had just move to pfSense the week prior.įrom the modem with a pretty decent laptop with a gigabit Ethernet NIC, I was getting about ~830 Mbps down and nearly 50Mpbs up. Since then I had an outage, and the tech doing the repair mentioned that Cox was going live that same day with DOCSIS 3.1 in my neighborhood, and started offering 1Gbps down X 35 Mbps up network speeds for just a few dollars more per month. I bought this thing expecting to run a different router OS on it, and also not expecting Cox to install fiber in my area for another lifetime. However, I still would like to give pfSense a shot, despite the god of gods smacking me for being a troll. I already got some from Gonzo over on Reddit
I understand I was bad, I don't need any more berating. I have a Protectli FW4A (e3845 CPU with AES, and 8GB of RAM) there, I said it.
