They're built once a day. Most days RELENG_1_2 doesn't change, and any
changes that do occur are minor. Just pick the newest one available at

Re: [pfSense Support] pfSense 1.2-RELEASE: Performance Issue?

2008-07-30 Thread Anil Garg
Hi Chris

I have an experimental rack for a start-up idea on 100 mbps pipe and the 
machines is an Dell 450 mhtz and added-in Intel 10/100 Server cards.  Have 
Red/Orange/Green with about 12 servers.  The image is 1.2 release and I have 
had no trouble cranking up to 78 mbps once ..

Another point is that it has VPN and WAN is configured as static IP 
xxx.xxx.xxx.66/27 and for last 5 months it has never given up. There is no 
other small biz router that can compete with this solution.  And I would put 
large environments on this considering it has snort implementation.  CONGRATS 
for having a winner on your hands!!

I would love to try the new 1.2.1 but there are so many images
Which one should be tested as most stable.

Best Regards
Anil Garg

No errors on Status -> Interfaces? What speed and duplex is the WAN
port showing as?  In my experience with metro Ethernet, the endpoints
are set inconsistently by providers (at least by AT&T). Some are
forced speed/duplex and some are set to auto. In the former case
you'll need to force your end, in the latter, leave it to auto.

How are you testing? I've pushed more than that through a 500 MHz box,
something of the spec you're running with Intel NICs is capable of
multi-Gbps. Since it's slow from DMZ to LAN it's likely not WAN port
related.

Since you're running relatively new hardware, the first thing I'd
recommend is trying 1.2.1. The NICs you have in a box that new
probably didn't exist at the time the em driver in FreeBSD 6.2 was
written, so you may be hitting some glitch there. Ditto for any number
of other components in that box.

FWIW, I have no problems pushing gigabit traffic at wirespeed through
my comparable speed boxes with pf enabled on Intel nics.  I've never
tested the top end out as packets per second were always more
important (and I only ever needed to support 1gig anyway).  But my
aging 2.8ghz xeons that I bought 4 years ago could handle that speed,
the new dual dual core opterons I just put in just yawn at the same
traffic.

RE: [pfSense Support] pfSense 1.2-RELEASE: Performance Issue?

2008-07-30 Thread Dimitri Rodis
Ted,

I had a similar issue with 10Mb symmetric Cox fiber connection in Las
Vegas. For some reason, their equipment didn't like the BroadCom NIC in
the system I had. Fortunately, there was another NIC in the system
(Intel) that worked just fine. When I performed a bandwidth test using
the BroadCom, I got barely over 2Mb. Using the Intel, I got 9.5Mb.

What kind of NICs are in your pfSense box?

Subject: [pfSense Support] pfSense 1.2-RELEASE: Performance Issue?


I'm running 1.2-RELEASE and we recently upgraded from 10mbps DSL to a
metro fiber link and we were seeing a pretty significant performance hit
across the firewall, especially outbound.  In troubleshooting this, my
provider has disabled all limiting on their end and the connection is
basically a wide open FDX 100Mbps link.  This *really* made the
performance drop noticeable.

Simple Diagram:

   --   
| Fiber Switch |---| Cisco 2801 |---| Firewall |--> Multiple LANs
   --   
  |
   --
   | DMZ Switch |--> DMZ Hosts
   --

A laptop directly connected to the fiber switch can pump >80Mbps to many
points on the Internet.  Behind my router it only hits 45-60Mbps
probably because the router was never intended to be used at this speed
(before the speed was bumped to 100mbps there was no significant
performance drop).  Behind the pfSense box, however, averages around
20-25Mbps to the Internet.  LAN to DMZ Hosts are around 55-60Mbps.

The box is pretty beefy - a SuperServer 5015M-MF+B, Xeon 3040 with 1GB
DDR2 and six Intel 1Gbps ports.  I'd be a little surprised if the
hardware has anything to do with it.  CPU and RAM usage have never
exceeded 10%.

I tried enabling polling but that made no difference.  I've disabled the
traffic shaper and removed most of my packages to get where I am now and
I've run out of ideas.

Anyone?

As an additional note, I've already tried the following to no avail:

- tcp/udp tweaking (no change)
- duplex mismatch testing (no problems)
- disabling pf to see if it's an issue with my rules
  (good idea Matthew, but no change)

Other items of note:
- FTP bandwidth from the shell on the firewall itself shows the same
  speed as on the LAN.
- a packet sniffer has been running full time on the WAN side with no
  significant finds.  I may add one to the LAN side as well to see 
  what I can see.

You've also dodged several attempts at actually telling us what services are in 
use on your Untangle box. Simply saying "all of them are enabled" doesn't tell 
those of us who are not familiar with Untangle much about your setup. Your 
subnet configuration would also be helpful instead of just saying "yes as per 
the suggestion i have changed UT box IP to another range"... what range? Is it 
the same as your pfSense box? How about a diagram with your configuration? 
Anything? 

Also, the problem does not appear to be pfSense related. It would be quite a 
bit more appropriate to get in touch with the Untangle support forums/mailing 
lists/etc instead of reiterating that your problem lies with a product 
unrelated to this list. 

Take your pick... tell us something useful... or bring your problem to the 
appropriate arena where it can be dealt with. But please stop posting useless

our vpn box has a different server for each user, and there are many tun
devices. so I think you have something wrong. login to the box, do a "ps
auxgw | grep openv" and look in the dirs for the configs and check them
by eye.

Re: [pfSense Support] OpenVPN Server & Client

2008-07-30 Thread David Meireles
I'm using diferent ports. For the server is the default UDP port, as for 
the client connection to site X, they have their server on 5 UDP 
port, so it's not from that... And yes, I'm using the latest stable 
version of pfSense.


I thought too that each deamon would create his own tun device, but that 
doesn't happen :\ It's really weird, the last service I start (be it 
client or server) takes control of the only tun device I have, and the 
service that lost that control doesn-t even notice that!!!


But I'll try to put the nobind option in my server and client 
configuration, and latter will try also the option I've mentioned in the 
last mail, too bad I can only do that after 6pm GMT, but hey, let's wait 
and see...

a way to use, maybye, tun0 for server ans tun1 for client!?


each ovpn daemon creates its own tun device.
there isn't actually that much difference between a server and a 
client, except the latter initiates the connect, the former waits.


create multiple servers and clients on different ports - be sure to 
set the source port differently for the client or consider using the 
floating port option "nobind".

You mean "Dynamic sourceport" option on the client configuration? That 
option is not check, I can try that, but only latter, when all the road 
warriors go home. But Martin, if you do an ifconfig, how many tun 
interfaces do you have?

Hi, David !
 
I have client and servermode working with pfsense on one system and it 
works like a charm...
My server is running on UDP/1194 and the clients (2 of hem) are 
running on UDP/dynamic port...
 
no problem with it at all...
 
Please recheck your config and make sure the OpenVPN services are not 
using the same ports.
Further check /status.php if there really is only one 
tun-interface... should be one for each service...
 
which version are you running ?
you should at least update to *1.2-RELEASE *built on Sun Feb 24 
17:13:15 EST 2008 ...
 
good luck,

you can have as many openvpn servers running as you like, just give 
each one its own port. they can each have entirely different 
configurations, some using shared key. some on x509 cert authentication.
