Hey,
I've been running proxmox for about a year now moving from FreeNas and I absolutely love it, when I moved OS I also upgraded hardware from an old desktop pc to a Dell r510, Its mostly used for sharing content, downloading torrents over vpn etc.
I've been proper exploring Proxmox for the first time really, It was a set it and forget it situation until now, I never really questioned my slow speeds because the main container I use is on the VPN but running speetest-cli --bytes on host(no vpn) im getting 2mb/s down, my router has a built in speed test and its receiving 382mb/s, I'm almost certain its not a cabling issue because I made them myself and everything else is fine.
I plan on taking a new gigabit card with a new ethernet cable home from work tonight although I thought it might be a good idea to ask the pros, I would much rather use the onboard dual gigabit nics than this card, it's a cheap tp-link tg-3269 also I feel like I maybe be missing something, I spent a good few hours last night researching and attempting to improve my speed with no luck and I learned alot with this being my first venture into proper server hardware I don't know if im missing firmware for the nics or its something silly.
Cheers
