ANSWERED pfSense install sometimes capped at 20mbit

[Panja 2]

I have a pretty decent pfSense box. i5-5250U with 8GB of ram.
I don't have any IDS, Snort etc running and CPU is idling at 2 - 5%

I have configured AirVPN with this tutorial:
https://nguvu.org/pfsense/pfsense-baseline-setup/

Everything seems to be working and most of the times I'm getting (almost) full speeds.
But a few times a day I notice lag and when I do some speed tests I'm maxing out at 20 mbit.
The speed of 20mbit is everytime I'm lagging out. I have tried dfferent servers of course and also different ports but same problem.
A few times a day it's capped on 20mbit.
Sometimes I do see some packetloss (1 or 2%) on the VPN gateways as well. But my regular WAN (ISP) does not have any loss.

Does anyone have a clue what this issue could be?

Yesterday evening I had this problem multiple times.
If I do a speedtest on my regular LAN the speed was at it's max.

sounds like the route to the server your using gets relegated to limited bandwidth and non-priority at times.  your ISP at fault.

See if it happens when you use servers that use different routes.

I'm still testing but it seems to be a problem when using UDP.
When I'm connected to the same server(s) with TCP instead of UDP the problem does not seem to occur.

that's more evidence that it's your ISP shaping bandwidth.

As I said I'm still testing but it seriously does look like it yes... 😮

I'll keep you posted in a few days. Thanks!

After using a TCP connection to AirVPN instead of UDP I can say I never experienced the 20mbit problem I described above.
So it seems my ISP is doing some voodoo shit here...
