This is a known issue with OpenBSD on protectli hardware. This is the fix: echo ‘disable inteldrm’ >> /etc/bsd.re-config config -e -c /etc/bsd.re-config -f /bsd reboot

I have a pretty good internet connection, supposedly at 1 G/s. I have my openbsd router (Protecli hardware) just behind. This hardware caps the connection at ~ 850 M/s up and down (this is what speed test and iperf shows). Pretty happy for the setup so far. I wish to improve the quality of my video calls (be it on MS Teams, whatsapp, zoom). The connection is not great, with the sound and the video not synchro and some lag. I noticed similar things during gaming. What should I do to improve the connection ? What info can I provide so that you points me towards good solutions ? Should I share the PF conf ? Thank you in advance for your help.
