I installed opnsense on an i5-6500T (native, no vm) but it looks like the performance is very bad, most websites are timing out.

everything is turned off, there’s no packet inspection or blocks, even the unbound dns server is not used (using a DC for that)

it’s the computer that’s underpowered, or i did some mistake in configuring it? Using two routers in the networks for my convenience

  • An i5-6500T doesn’t feel underpowered to me unless you’ve got IPS + IDS and/or OpenVPN running. Is anything firing off a bunch of errors in the logs?

      in the logs i have a lot of " Block private networks from WAN" - it might be that i misconfigured everything with LAN and WAN in the same subnet
