My scheduled task is hard-coded to the server that returns the best ping (the server that is normally chosen when I run speedtest without choosing a specific server). Normally it returns a list including a half dozen that are within 30 miles or so of my location. When I run speedtest cli from my Windows box to pull the list of servers, C:\Python27\python.exe C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages\speedtest.py -list > serverlist.txt The pfsense community delivers once again! The widget works and i am grateful for that. Maybe last mile lag affects that test more.Īnyways got what i needed and it was a fun ride. On really nice connections i get what is advertised with the test but rarely on home or small biz connections. But it almost always skews quite a bit lower on most connections for some reason. I always prefer as that cannot be faked. I installed the widget with the oneline command (thank you muchly), and find it about the same as speedtest/. Running on consumer hardware isn't a flaw in the product, its one of its main strengths. I am trying to get 700/20 up that i am paying for now.Īnd i have used plenty of firewalls with large pricetags that pfsense runs circles around in terms of ease of use and setup. Which was necessary for this speed upgrade here. The only reason i really upgraded was because the core 2 quad mobo only had a 100mb interface and now i have a gig. But i prefer running on consumer hardware at home so that if something breaks its easy enough to find some parts in the parts bin to fix it. If I wanted an appliance, i would have got a mikrotik. And pfsense took it no problem and booted right up after i remapped one interface whoes name changed. I took my sons old computer, a i5-2400 and slapped that in to replace my q6600 core2 quad. And its a good test to see if the problem is on the lan or wan side too. I dont want to rewire my network and do that, so the next best device to run this sort of test on is the firewall itself. The reason i personally want to speed test from the firewall is that the level 1 techs at the ISP always want you to connect your own computer directly to the modem. ![]() What the hell else are you going to do with old desktops? stick em in a 2U server case and rack em up. And i have ever since my first 486 firewall in 1996, with dubble /netbsd that came on two floppies. ![]() And yes gasp, i use old desktops that get upgraded as routers. I too want to do a speedtest from the router. I love the ones where the supposedly knowledgeable "mod" tells people that they are "holding it wrong" because they cant conceive of people actually using their product how they want. this is a hilariously classic pfsense forums discussion.
