Jumbo frames not (and never has been) enabled. Yes, I think my next investigations is going to be the VPN itself. If I ever track this down I'll post back just for closure :) Driving me nuts!

I have tried smart queues on and off - no difference. The VPN is terminated on the client at my end - this is why I am finding this so confusing. Someone else has suggested it may be my ISP throtttling VPN traffic which actually would make more sense than the USG processing power to my mind. :(

{edit} mind you - that would not impact local network traffic so that cannot be it !

Am I barking up the wrong tree? in c/[email protected]

My download speed is 500Mbps (mistyped in orginal post, sorry!) , upload is 50Mbps. I do get these speeds, sometimes faster.

I have tried with smart queues on and off - does not seem to make a material difference. It's odd because I would not have expected the use of a VPN on a client machine (i.e. the tunnel is from my laptop and my VPN provider) to have this sort of latancy issue on the local network.

I am also thinking that maybe my ISP is detecting and throttling VPN traffic? I am in the UK - is this a thing?

Let's fight back! in c/[email protected]

Actually we are in a bus with our children, hurtling down your mountain at 120kph, approaching the death bend, the bus driver is a deranged psychopath who can only think of getting home in time to watch the football. He will not tolerate being distracted while driving so he has hired an armed guard with orders to shoot any passenger moving from their seats.

Some panicking fellow passengers have covertly formed a committee to pursuade everyone to wave their hands out the windows to create sufficient drag to slow the bus down...

It may already be too late but we need more radical action than 'no moo Mondays' to address this problem.

Hello,

I am hoping someone can point me i the right direction here. I have a weird home networking issue which I just do not understand at all. My set-up is a Ubiquiti USG-Pro 4, connected to a managed 8 port ubiquiti switch and then a generic 24 port unmanaged switch with various kit plugged into it including a qnap NAS running container services such a PiHole, Deluge, Plex, Nextcloud etc.

I have 3 access points (PoE) connected to the 8 port switch to run my wireless network and I also run some wired and wireless cameras with Unifi Protect

Everything runs fine EXECPT.....

Whenever any device (laptop \ mobile \ container running within the NAS \ whatever) connects to my VPN provider (ProtonVPN) and starts to download any sizeable data via that VPN link, my network latency on the USG goes from an average of 16 ms up to a network breaking 500+ ms.

I have tried....

Turning off all IPS \ IDS \ traffic monitoring on the USG
Completely replacing my generic unmanaged switch for another brand
Downloading torrent files from P2P networks
Downloading large files directly from the internet
Removing PiHole as my DNS server (switching directly to 1.1.1.1)
Using OpenVPN and Wireguard protocols

I have experimented downloading from the QNAP NAS, from a wireless connected laptop, from a mobile phone, from a wired computer with and without the VPN connected.

Without the VPN - all is good, speed is good (I have a 500GB down ISP connection) and latency is good (well below 18 ms at all times)

With the VPN - all starts fine but within 30 seconds or so latency is up at above 500ms and the rest of the network slows to a crawl.

I am staring to think that this may be an issue with the processing capabilities of the USG? or am I missing something really obvious here. Any advice appreciated.

Hello,

Will try in some other communities but also posting here just in case there's a Unifi guru reading this ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

So, is this an issue with the processing capabilities of the USG? or am I missing something really obvious here. Any advice appreciated.

Why I Switched to Nobara Linux, and Why You Should Too in c/linux_gaming

Agree with this, I have just built a new gaming box (first time in 10 years - wow stuff has changed!). Anyway, I daily drive Fedora on my laptop and just automatically put in on the new rig - it took a LOT of tweaking to get it right for gaming (working like a dream now). In hindsight Nobara sounds like it would have saved me a lot of time

It's just another human being wanting to communicate to others something they found interesting and enguaging, you don't need to read it (indeed you probabally didn't since you are ignoring these sort of posts, which is totally fine and your own decision). Your preference not to read these sort of titles does not mean other peeople do not want to, or, in fact, that those same people are interested reading your views on the topic - live and let live, just don't be rude about it.
