@mathais said in speedtest-cli ERROR: Unable to connect to servers to test latency.:
@Gertjan Thank you, so you removed speedtest-cli ?
I have openvpn configured on my pfsense and all my IPV4 traffic pass through the VPN .
All traffic? Even video&music streaming? Why???
Do you know another tool for testing my internet speed ?
Saying “internet speed” what EXACTLY You mean: uplink to ISP, between Your pfSense and certain server, between Your device(s) and certain server?
Check all cables, connected speed on NIC, no collisions and errors on interfaces.
2.
SWITCH ON RACK/QUICK congestion control (CC) in FreeBSD.
3.
DISABLE OFFLOADING on NICs - nowadays this have no sens.
4.
DISABLE POWER MANAGEMENT on motherboard (off CPU Threading, CPU power states, PCI & NICs power mgmt, etc…)
5.
only now test by
Speedtest
Fast
Librespeed
iperf3
Your UPLINK (of course no any other net activity on pfSense would be).
After that You have:
maximum possible on certain moment from Your hardware & FreeBSD drivers;
measurements from nearest and far servers (not very accurate because workload time of the day and loading of certain server);
Better to automate this by Smokeping (on the pfSense device itself) OR Prometheus+Grafana on separate server (but agent on pfSense).
With alerting on Pushover by API or email.
