Extremely Slow Speeds with FW4B

[nap4lm69]

I am looking to see if there is a known issue with speed drops once using the bypass method, or maybe it is caused by using the 5268AC? I just got the Protectli FW4B and have been using 2.4.5p1 due to not being able to get it working with 2.5. I have been running "successfully" for about 4 weeks now. However, I have tried multiple fresh installations with nothing except the required stuff to make pfatt work. I get the following speeds no matter what I have tried:

Only on RG: ~950up/~940down

Using pfatt: ~160-350up/~150down

Am I missing something? I tried swapping the ethernet cable as I heard that caused it for one person, but that didn't help me. Would buying a NVG599 from ebay and getting the certs fix this? I am assuming it must not happen very often as there is only like two reddit posts and zero issues on here.

Thanks for your help!

I have basically the same or similar issue. I reproduced it with both opnsense and pfsense 2.5.2.

Both opn and pfsense will get full (+900mbps) speeds without pfatt while running behind my old 2.4.5 pfsense installation. Once I put pfatt on 2.5.2 and move it to be the primary firewall it drops the download speeds to ~500mbps down and ~900mbps up (when using the speedtest app multiconnection test).

My RG is a 5268, but I'm not yet using those scripts.

in-place upgraded from 2.4.5 on an Dell SFF w/o issue, could be a bug with the Protectli, never liked those units (I had a fleet of like 100, they all underperformed an old dell with an i5)

speeds 940/940
