Hi Phiilip!

What would be a good setting fo this? Currently, it's in auto maybe setting it to more specific is better?

ONU -> pfSense -> PC

MagikMark

Hi Philipi!

May I ask your thoughts on Windows Firewall and Network Protection under Windows Defender?

Do we really need to turn this "on" if you're running pfsense in the network? Isn't this redundant? Will it cause conflict with other networking activities such as VPN and file sharing?

Thanks

MagikMark

Philip

I'm doing some experiment right now. So far, every time I execute winsock and Ip reset I get back my bursting speed in VPN after it get stucked in lower speed. What does this tell us? Possibly routing issues that needed to be reset after possible changes in the Networking enviroment of my ...

MagikMark

Is there something I could do about it? or Just consider other ISPs?

MagikMark

What r ur thoughts on this:

When I'm connected to a VPN with a static IP multi threaded downloading works up to my subscribed speed.

However, if I use dynamic IP, multi threaded downloading is stucked a 10Mbps or 100Mbps.

My line is 500/500

Is it ISP misconfiguration? or Maybe there's something ...

MagikMark

It's 1392 actually + 28 = 1420

How about on the OS Level? It's set to 1500. Shall I leave it alone as well?

MagikMark

Thanks philip. The Wireguard tunnel interface is 1420. The Network physical interface is 1500. Shall I make the physical interface 1420 as well?

Hey Philip,

I'm trying to do an exercise that will help me determine the MTU of a remote server ,as well as the HOPS, if this is even possible.

I use a lot of VPN and there are some servers dropping the packets or the HOP does. Can't determine if it is part of QOS or mismatched MTU.

Is there a ...

MagikMark

Hi Philip!

1. May I ask if the ff settings are dependent or has direct performance correlation with my
ISP servers:

LSO
Chimney Offload
RSC
Time Stamp

Meaning, if I have different settings than that off my ISP, it may cause connectivity problem

How do we know which settings are appropriate for ...

MagikMark

Philip,

Does activating MSMQ help us in connecting to other servers such as VPN servers?

What does it do?

MagikMark

There are 6 templates. Which one would you recommend? Shall I use all of them?

MagikMark

Is there a work around for Windows 11 Pro? I noticed these tweaks work. However, the systems removes them later on

MagikMark

I'm using Windows 11 Pro. Just to clarify the following are still relevant and not set in the TCP Optimizer:

IRPStackSize 32
SizReqBuf 65535

Would you recommend those values? I have 24GB of RAM

MagikMark

Philip,

I've been getting this advice that by adding these parameters will improve LAN networking:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINES\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Parameters
IRPStackSize 32
SizReqBuf 17424

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINES\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters
TCP1323Opts 1 ...

MagikMark

Philip

I was wondering if you have any experience in mounting access point on a Vesa Interface like the monitor arm?

MagikMark

Philip

Do you see any benefits on using this with other templates as described here:

MagikMark

Phiip

I would like to experiment with other variables. What would be an ideal value for the ff:

delayedacktimeout
enablecnwdrestart
delayedackfrequency

MagikMark

Philip

I get snappier experience if I use this:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Nsi\{eb004a03-9b1a-11d4-9123-0050047759bc}\26]
"00000000"=hex:00,00,00,00,44,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,05,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,\

MagikMark

Is this correct:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

What I have tested is the ICW. Windows 10 Enteprise became snappier. Made changes in the registry. However, executing "Get-NetTCPSetting" Did not reflect the changes. I wonder why

These hacks looks very promising. Maybe Philip could integrate it in TCP Optimizer

The one found here:

MagikMark

My bad. I have Windows 10 Enterprise

MagikMark

Funny thing is, Upon testing my internet. Everything seems to be snappier

MagikMark

Hi Philipi

Experimenting the Reg Hack for Windows 10 Pro. Tried changing ICW from 10 to 44.
Nothing happened.

I created reg file as advised then ran "Get-NetTCPSetting" to check TCP parameters.
No changes, ICW still 10 for all templates

Run reg editor changes are reflected there

Did I missed ...

MagikMark

As always, thank you Philip!

MagikMark

Hi Philip!

Will you recommend Autotunelevel=experimental for 500Mbps/500Mbps?

Thanks

MagikMark

Philip,

Just a confirmation on ports. I will just open ports that are needed by my machine. How about the Dynamically assigned ports? Do I have to open some of them or totally block all of them? If so, which port range is best kept open?

MagikMark

Philip would you agree on the ff default settings in pfsense:

TCP First 3600
TCP Opening 900
TCP Established 432000
TCP Closing 3600
TCP FIN Wait 600
TCP Closed 180
TCP Tsdiff 60
UDP First 300
UDP Single 150
UDP Multiple 900
ICMP First 20
ICMP Error 10
Other First 60
Other Single 30
Other Multiple 60

MagikMark

Thanks Philip

Hey Philip

This is my set up:

I have modified the Turn tables to match tcp optimizer's

Under Windows 10 OS which ports are needed to be open

MagikMark

Hi Philip and Team!

Do you happen to have tips and tweak for pfSense?

What would be a good set up? Which ports do I have to keep open under "small office home office condition"?

I'm using Asus RT-AC5300 router. I have a MAC and a PC connected to it. I'm working on very large files around 20GB each.

Is it going to be faster if I'm going to use the USB port? Will Windows 10 be able to read and write my Synology NAS. My concern is that they may have different file system. Can ...

Hi Philip!

I have a video collection stored in the internal drives of my PC. Space is starting to be scarce. I'm now planning to get a NAS (Synology DS220+) for better storage. My question now:

Which is the fastest way to move files from my PC -> NAS? If I go through the router it might take too ...

MagikMark

Do you happen to have any experience on the impact of:

"netsh interface ipv4 set subinterface"

on the Tap Adapter? This would effectively change the MTU of the adapter

Care to share?

Thanks again

MagikMark

Hi Philip!

D you happen to know the header size for:

Http Proxy

Stealth Proxy

Anonymous Proxy

Doing some experiment using AnyConnect Coupled with Proxy

Thanks

MagikMark

Thanks Philip

MagikMark

Oh I see. My concern right now is packet fragmentation as you have discussed in optimizing internet connection

MagikMark

Can you guide on how I connect my devices?

ONU(bridge) - Router(1500) - Switch(9000) - NIC1(1500) - NIC2(9000) - NAS(9000)

MagikMark

OMG! Its so confusing.

Is there a software that could do this? Maybe an app in Synology NAS?

Can you recommend a good switch?

I still do need to connect the switch to my router right?

MagikMark

Is it possible to have 2 NICs, one for internet use with 1500 MTU and the other one for NAS with 9000 MTU?

Both will be using same router and PC

Is there a special guide for this?
