Title: HE IPv6 Tunnel terrible bandwidth
Post by: andrin55 on February 01, 2017, 10:35:02 AM
Hello

I setup a HE IPv6 Tunnel which is "working" so far. I can ping IPv6 Hosts in the internet. The tunnel has very little latency (< 25 ms) and pings are working reliable. HE Server IP is: 216.66.80.98
But I'm not able to get more than 1Kb/s trough the tunnel. The bandwidth of the tunnel is just very very terrible. I tried many different MTU's from 1452 to 1280 and they all didn't seem to make any difference.

I did make a HTTP request via CURL on a Linux box: https://youtu.be/0-BJNQR8UT8
The same happens if I run CURL directly from pfSense (which is connected via PPPoE).

Here are two screenshots demonstrating the issue:

I tried to upload these screenshots here, but it failed with the message "Couldn't access files to upload".

I'm running pfSense 2.3.2-RELEASE-p1 (amd64) got a IPv4 bandwidth of 50 MBits/s


Do you have any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Thank you for your help.

I'm not familiar with the tunnel IP scheme...where is your tunnel located?

I just tested my IPv6 tunnel with another HE server and it didn't change anything.

The server I used was the one in Frankfurt, DE with the IP 216.66.80.30

Did you tried another server instead of Zurich?
Perhaps try Frankfurt?

I got amazing speeds from Singapore server back in a while.

I tried both Frankfurt and Zürich and they both didn't seem to work "right".

But I guess its an issue on my end.
