      Hi,
      I have a very strange problem with the IPv6 upload on my server.

      First of all, the important informations:
      Hardware: Dedicated server (Hetzner)
      Hypervisor: Proxmox
      CPU: AMD Ryzen 5950x
      RAM: 128GB DDR4 ECC
      SSD: 2x 4 TB Datacenter SSD
      Connection: 1 Gbit uplink
      pfSense: ZFS & VirtIO. Proxmox & VM firewall are deactivated.

      Now to my problem:
      When I run a speedtest (iperf3 or browser speedtest) I get first in download, 930 Mbits, but in upload only 0,20 Mbits.
      I tried it with Linux and Windows VMs - same result.

      If I switch off the firewall with "pfctl -d", then it works and the full 1 Gbit is available with IPv6.
      VM IPv6-Iperf3 speed test with the firewall switched off (pfctl -d): https://pastebin.com/g5V2j49w
      VM IPv6-Iperf3 speed test with activated firewall (pfctl -e): https://pastebin.com/V21ByqTB

      What I already tried and activated:

      • Hardware Checksum Offloading, Hardware TCP Segmentation Offloading & Hardware Large Receive Offloading deactivated
      • AES-NI activated
      • Proxmox CPU-Type on Host, kvm64 & x86-64-v2-AES (mainly host)
      • Proxmox > pfSense > tried E1000 driver
      • reinstalled pfSense with UFS

      It ONLY affects IPv6. IPv4 works fine.
      Even if I create an ANY - ANY rule for the firewall rules (WAN and LAN), it does not work.

      Perhaps again for a better overview:
      IPv4 Download: 1 Gbit
      IPv4 Upload: 1 Gbit
      IPv6 Download: 1 Gbit
      IPv6 Upload: 0-10 Mbit

      I have absolutely no idea what else I can try... or what is causing the problem. If any of you have any ideas what else I can try, please let me know.
