Hello, doing some basic test (a simple secure network copy of some hundreds MB) it even seems that performances are a bit erratic, ranging from 30Mb/s to less than 5Mb/s. Odd enough, the performance follows a ´worsening´ pattern, the first file transfer performs at full speed, while the second and subsequent ones go at a very lower rate. Also, netstat -i reports a significant amount of input errors on lnc0, about 0,5 % of the total exchanged packets. On one occasion, the network copy stalled and the lnc0 interface stopped working - a reboot on the pfSense virtual box was required, done from the pfSense controlling console. Has anyone eventually had better experience with pfSense and vmware? Thanks, Marco
