Hi, Is pfsense supports quad core cpus?
I have a pfsense running on a box with quad core cpu and 3 gb memory. It has a server mainboard and Gbit intel NIC over it. I am using it as a SYN Proxy after 60 mbits/s attack it is not possible to connect to firewall and servers behind the firewall. On shell I see that tcpdump and syslog uses cpu very much. And I see only one cpu on "top" command. Is there another way for checking it? Which feature uses tcpdump? Can I close it? Do you know some ways for tuning pfsense to handle more than 60 mbits? Thanks, Cihan SAĞLAMÖZ
