Hey guys
Running 2.7.2-RELEASE (amd64) on a Dell Optiplex with an i5-4590 CPU and using an Intel i350-t4 NIC.
My pfSense box WAN port is connected to a Arris CM8200 Cable Modem (NBN in Australia), I don’t have access to any config on this modem. Speeds I get are 100mb down /50 mb up. I’ve followed Toms bufferbloat youtube guide for traffic shaping which I suspect isn’t causing this.
So far I have tried the following:
IPV6 is completely disabled.
In Wan DCHP Config under DHCP Client Configuration changing the advanced config preset to ‘FreeBSD default’
Adding in supersede dhcp-server-identifier 255.255.255.255 under Option Modifiers
In the Gateway I have enable and disabled “Disable Gateway Monitoring” and “Disable Gateway Monitoring Action” in different configurations/
Have changed the Monitor IP from my ISP provided IP to 1.1.1.1 etc
Essentailly all steps in these threads:
The only thing I haven’t tried is “Use non-local gateway” as I’m not entirely sure if this is safe?
My logs when the packet loss occures:
Under Status > System > Gateways
