Install on both sides, not on pfsense. i.e. install on a machine on the WAN side, and on the LAN site. Or if you are testing between LAN and an OPT interface, put a machine on both subnets and test that way.
iPerf on pfsense will not give you a throughput of the firewall (at least nothing that means anything) Cheers, On Sun, Aug 2, 2009 at 2:10 AM, Lenny<five2one.le...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > On Sat, Aug 1, 2009 at 2:15 AM, David Rees <dree...@gmail.com> wrote: >> >> Most of the time, the real issue is that scp has to encrypt the data >> on one end and decrypt it on the other - that takes a lot of CPU power >> that could otherwise be used for tossing packets around. >> >> -Dave >> >> --------------------------------------------------------------------- >> To unsubscribe, e-mail: support-unsubscr...@pfsense.com >> For additional commands, e-mail: support-h...@pfsense.com >> >> Commercial support available - https://portal.pfsense.org >> > > I decided to use iperf for now.
