    Help a boomer spec a new PC

    It's not so much waiting for things to complete, but rather navigation and rotating/moving objects around, moving the viewpoint etc, is extremely sticky/laggy. Even just trying to model something to 3D print, is very annoying because of this.

    PfSense - Site-to-Site VPN Slow Link

    The gateways were originally configured with E1000 adapters, but during troubleshooting I changed them to VMX3, I saw no difference doing this. I've just tried disabling that checksum offloading, and it has actually made a difference! I'm now getting around 18 - 21MB/s, which is the biggest...

    PfSense - Site-to-Site VPN Slow Link

    No joy with IPSec, I'm actually only getting 5.5MB/s through that tunnel, less than half of what I was getting through OpenVPN :(

    PfSense - Site-to-Site VPN Slow Link

    I'm unfortunately unable to check this, and I think it may because of the virtual interfaces. They're just listed as 'Ethernet Autodetect' when running the commands, it doesn't actually list a negotiation speed. Even checking via SSH using multiple ways (dmesg, ifconfig etc). The link speed...

    PfSense - Site-to-Site VPN Slow Link

    Hi all, Anyone with previous experience configuring these links, I'm after some pointers in increasing the bandwidth between sites. I seem to be capped/stuck at 10 - 12MB/s throughput. Both gateways are virtual, hosted on ESXi at each site. It's an OpenVPN link, with the following...

    Internet running slow on one PC

    Right! All done! (mostly!) That didn't take as long as I thought it would! Still need to setup Visual Studio + Code tomorrow. While I'm on, I was just about to install the CCCP codec pack that comes with Media Player Classic, but I see it hasn't been updated for 5 years. Is this still a thing...

    Internet running slow on one PC

    Only use Windows Defender, and just tried disabling that - but still have the same issue :/ Also tried booting into a Windows Live install from a USB SSD, and the problem doesn't exist on that. So musn't be BIOS or network card issues.

    Internet running slow on one PC

    Hey all, I've got a really bizarre problem that I can't figure out :/ When downloading anything from the internet over HTTP, I'm being capped at 3.5MB/s - doesn't matter what website I use. The issue doesn't exist when downloading from things like Steam, just seems to be downloads over HTTP...

    UniFi Gateway Advanced Routing with PfSense

    Got it :D thanks buddy. All sorted now, and connection is working great! For reference and in case others didn't know, you can't setup (well it doesn't look like you can), a static route for an individual VLAN only. So create the static route, and implement firewall rules to prevent the other...

    First Server Cabinet for Home

    Thanks woody, I'm probably going to play it safe and go for a 900mm depth cabinet. Bremen, my crazy thinking behind it was basically; I know the higher grades of cat cable performing better at longer distances, i.e. you'd probably get 10Gb/s through CAT5 if the cable was short enough, so...

    First Server Cabinet for Home

    Hey all, We've reached the point of needing a server cabinet for the home. I've never purchased a rack/cabinet before, so apologise for the nooby questions! I'm just looking for some pointers and suggestions. The largest thing to go in the cabinet will be a HP DL380 G6. It measures in at 690mm...
