Hi all, having some problems which I hope I can resolve because I *REALLY* want to run Proxmox on this machine and not be stuck with just OPNsense running on bare metal as it's infinitely less useful like this.
I have a super simple setup:
10gb port out on my ISP router and PPPoE credentials
Dual Port 2.5GbE NIC in my Proxmox machine, with OPNsense installed in a VM
When I run OPNsense on either live USB, or installed to bare metal, performance is fantastic and works exactly as intended:

As seen here, 2500Base-T is the link speed, and my speed tests are fantastic across any devices attached to the OPNsense - absolutely no problems observed

The settings on OPNsense ended up being very straight forward so I don't think I messed up any major settings between the two of them. They simply needed WAN port designation, then LAN. Then I run the setup wizard, and designate WAN to PPPoE IPv4 using my login & password and external IP is assigned with no issues in both situations

As far as I can tell, Proxmox is also able at the OS level to see everything as 2.5GbE with no problems. `ethtool` reports 2500Base-T just like it does on bare metal OPNsense

However now we see in our OPNsense installation the link speed is only 1000Base-T instead of the 2500Base-T it should be

And as we can see, my speeds have never been worse, this is even worse than the ISP router - it's exactly 10% of my full speed, should be 2500 and I get 250mbps
I'm willing to assume I simply did something wrong inside Proxmox itself or misconfigured the VM somehow, much appreciated in advance for any ideas!
Have a great day Proxmox crew!
