[pfSense Support] OT: web based performance testing
Looking for something, preferably open source but commercial is an option, sort of like a host your own private speed test site. The idea is when someone connects in via VPN they can easily hit a URL on a server across the VPN and click a button to test throughput, latency, and loss. The average end user is not highly technical, so something like download this 50 MB test file and ping x.x.x.x isn't viable. I figure someone out there has done something similar in the past. Granted there isn't anything you can do about poor connectivity other than find a different Internet connection, but at least it's a way to tell. Any ideas much appreciated.

That's the piece that's missing from all the options I've seen. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: support-unsubscr...@pfsense.com For additional commands, e-mail: support-h...@pfsense.com Commercial support available - https://portal.pfsense.org

Maybe this will fit the bill.
