Hi,

As far as I understand it, the virtual router OS is based on BSD,
right?
Are the virtual client OSes that you tested based on Linux?

If that's the case, then the result is quite expected: There is a fast,
in-kernel implementation for Linux[1], but no fast implementation for
BSD.
The implementation for BSD is wireguard-go[2], which hasn't really been
optimized.

Thanks for your reply.

No, I can achieve (almost) full WAN line rate using *BSD as local
clients' OS too, not just Linux ones. The wireguard-go being in user
space doesn't really cause much damage on powerful hardware. For example
on GhostBSD (in a VM) I got >345Mbps down and 20Mbps up running wg-go on
the same machine. [1] The throughput problem only arises when I run wg
directly on the router instance.

I think I made some progress however. I need to do some testing on my
main workstation later, though, as I was working on a (lower powered)
laptop today. OpenBSD being limited to a single core for routing (I
believe its pf is now more multi-threaded however) could also be a
factor. I'm going to move my improved pf.conf over to FreeBSD on the
workstation and see if I get better throughput. I'm convinced I've made
a simple mistake in implementing NAT or one of the pf rules at this
point. It doesn't really make sense otherwise.

I'll get there in the end. :) Thanks again for your reply.
Kind regards,

Lee Yates
