Good evening everyone.
Im a little bit stumped by this issue.
Since Monday 17th at 13.00 (GMT) i have had degraded upload speeds. (see below for rudimentary table, taken from log export in speedtest widget, timestamps are in "epoch" format
https://www.epochconverter.com/ )
I have a 900mbit FTTP service, and use mimugmail's speed test widget (
https://github.com/mimugmail/opn-repo) to monitor speeds. every hour, on the hour, from within OPN. this is not an asyncronous connection its "900 down/900 up" (FTR i can regularly speed test at >900 down/ >800 up before this issue arose)
My network HW is ONT > HP Procurve switch > Dell Power Connect switch > Proxmox Server > OPNsense VM
Proxmox and OPNsense fully up-to-date with latest "stable" releases. neither are of the "enterprise" variety.
The issue has spanned OPNsense 24.1.8 into OPNsense 24.1.9 (release date for .9, i believe, was 18/06)
I have confirmed the following... Shut down all other VMs/CTs Within Proxmox, leaving ONLY OPN VM running. this resulted in no change to the poor upload speeds... iperf3 at any step in above chain results in maximum 1g throughput. when running iperf from ONT side to Proxmox Server i saw a max of 1300 retries but the throughput was there.
i further tested speeds with my ISP router at every stage that there was an ethernet connection... this resulted in >900down, >800up
Given the combination of these 2 results i think i can safely say my line and HW are good.
i talked with ISP, they informed me that they do not apply throttling to the line, regardless of usage or attached router. i have no reason to not believe them at this stage as the testing appears to confirm that the line speed is obtainable, at least with their kit.
My suspicion is now firmly with OPN. No settings were changed in relation to WAN, i did set a port in NAT Port Forward towards my reverse proxy, but thats it, since testing i have disabled this PF and confirmed the attached floating rule has also been disabled.
im not really sure of what to check/adjust. any help greatly appreciated and warmly recieved.
