I’ve done pings without any drops. ISP doesn’t come into effect as this is only LAN traffic, laptop and server are on the same switch.


So I am trying to track down what is possibly slowing down my download connection from my Debian server to my devices (streaming box, laptop, other servers, etc). First let me go over my network infrastructure: OPNsense Firewall (Intel C3558R) <-10gb SFP+ DAC-> Managed Switch <-2.5gb RJ45-> Clients, 2.5gb AX Access Point, and Debian Server (Intel N100). Under a 5 minute stress test between my laptop (2.5gb adapter plugged into switch) and the Debian Server (2.5gb Intel I226-V NIC), I get the full bandwidth when uploading however when downloading it tops out around 300-400mbps. The download speed does not fair any better when connecting to the AX access point, with upload dropping to around 500mbps. File transfers between the server and my laptop are also approximately 300mbps. And yes, I manually disabled the wifi card when testing over ethernet. Speed tests to the outside servers reflect approximately 800/20mbps (on an 800mbps plan). Fearing that the traffic may be running through OPNsense and that my firewall was struggling to handle the traffic, I disconnected the DAC cable and reran the test just through the switch. No change in results. Identified speeds per device: Server: 2500 Mb/s Laptop: 2500Base-T Switch: 2,500Mbps Firewall: 10Gbase-Twinax Operating Systems per device: Server: Debian Bookworm Laptop: macOS Sonoma (works well for my use case) Switch: some sort of embedded software Firewall: OPNsense 24.1.4-amd64 Network Interface per device: Server: Intel I226-V Laptop: UGreen Type C to 2.5gb Adapter Switch: RTL8224-CG Firewall: Intel X553 The speed test is hosted through Docker on my server.

Looking to use internally, been using DNS challenge. Going to check up on it this morning.


Configuring Porkbun DNS for internal IPs
Hey everyone, asking here since I've been trying (and failing) at the numerous guides online. The end goal is so that I can have proper Let's Encrypt certs for my self hosted servers to include VaultWarden (which will not work with self-signed or http) as well as have easy urls for myself and family to use. So I am trying to setup my Porkbun domain with my Opnsense nginx plugin in order to resolve the address (such as navidrome.example.com to my local server's navidrome instance @ 192.168.1.99:4533). I attempted this guide [here](https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?topic=24778.0) as well as trying to configure a separate nginx on the server itself. I haven't had much luck with these [guides](https://kb.porkbun.com/article/54-pointing-your-domain-to-hosting-with-a-records) either. Any address outside of router.example.com results in a connection failure. Including when I tried to route everything like navi.router.example.com. This is with and without wildcards in the A Record entries on Porkbun's DNS control panel. I've tried *.example.com, *.router.example.com, navidrome.example.com, navidrome.router.example.com. Sorry if this seems like a simple problem or if I am missing a massive step, I am complete newbie at self-hosting/networking. edit: Finally got it working with the simple urls resolving to the proper self-hosted services and with proper CA certs. Thank y'all for the help and advice!!
