In the last few days I've just started recognizing I have an problem, but i'm sure it's been happening over the last 2-6 months.
I have a small Proxmox server that runs OpnSense with a dual port Intel NIC as my firewall for my home internet.
On systems external to this Proxmox server, i only get .2-2 Mbps upload. On a secondary VM hosted on this same server hosting the OpnSense, I get my expected 10-12 Mbps.

Before I discovered the correct upload speed on that VM, I originally thought I might have some bad hardware. So I built up a little Optiplex (Realtk NIC) at work with Proxmox/OVS (deploying my original /etc/network/interfaces file) and then proceeded to install OpnSense and restoring my backup config from home. It also had the same slow upload speed to external clients so I thought it had to be my OpnSense config.

Now that the secondary VM on my home Proxmox server has the correct upload speed, I suspect OVS is the issue.
Any ideas on how to fix this or other thoughts on what it might be?
Thanks in advance!
