January 3, 20242 yr Hey Long story short: I had an ancient microserver gen8 running esxi. I now virtualized my pfsense in unraid on a system waaaay more powerful than the old one. Everything works, but there is a slight (~15ms) increase in latency compared to the old system. Basically my site to site VPN went from 93ms to 108ms. 64 bytes from 192.168.200.200: icmp_seq=44 ttl=62 time=93.8 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.200.200: icmp_seq=45 ttl=62 time=94.0 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.200.200: icmp_seq=46 ttl=62 time=93.8 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.200.200: icmp_seq=47 ttl=62 time=93.8 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.200.200: icmp_seq=48 ttl=62 time=93.5 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.200.200: icmp_seq=49 ttl=62 time=93.9 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.200.200: icmp_seq=50 ttl=62 time=93.7 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.200.200: icmp_seq=51 ttl=62 time=95.6 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.200.200: icmp_seq=52 ttl=62 time=94.0 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.200.200: icmp_seq=53 ttl=62 time=94.0 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.200.200: icmp_seq=54 ttl=62 time=93.8 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.200.200: icmp_seq=55 ttl=62 time=94.1 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.200.200: icmp_seq=56 ttl=62 time=94.2 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.200.200: icmp_seq=57 ttl=62 time=93.9 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.200.200: icmp_seq=58 ttl=62 time=95.9 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.200.200: icmp_seq=59 ttl=62 time=93.7 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.200.200: icmp_seq=60 ttl=62 time=94.3 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.200.200: icmp_seq=63 ttl=62 time=107 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.200.200: icmp_seq=64 ttl=62 time=107 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.200.200: icmp_seq=65 ttl=62 time=107 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.200.200: icmp_seq=66 ttl=62 time=107 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.200.200: icmp_seq=67 ttl=62 time=107 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.200.200: icmp_seq=68 ttl=62 time=107 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.200.200: icmp_seq=69 ttl=62 time=107 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.200.200: icmp_seq=70 ttl=62 time=107 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.200.200: icmp_seq=71 ttl=62 time=107 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.200.200: icmp_seq=72 ttl=62 time=107 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.200.200: icmp_seq=73 ttl=62 time=107 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.200.200: icmp_seq=74 ttl=62 time=108 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.200.200: icmp_seq=75 ttl=62 time=107 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.200.200: icmp_seq=76 ttl=62 time=108 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.200.200: icmp_seq=77 ttl=62 time=108 ms It's minimal but it's there. I figure virtualizing the NIC may even out this issue, but I don't have enough slots or a PCIE nic. Also.. maybe it's just wireguard, because my LAN to WAN latency didn't budge, but it would be weird, the configurations were identical, only thing that changed was hardware.
