Feedback:

I moved my bare metal pfsense box to a virtual machine on proxmox using your guide linked here. Overall it worked, however I suffered from poor https performance with downloads from my nextcloud instance being hosted behind HAProxy, capping at 30MBps on local network. Your guide above suggests creating a KVM64 CPU in proxmox with no advanced flags but to get best performance you need to enable the AES CPU flag which passes AES-NI to the pfsense machine inside. It immediately improved my speeds up to full gigabit speeds.

I posted on the forum here https://forum.netgate.com/topic/160685/finally-solved-slow-https-performance-when-using-pfsense-on-proxmox-perhaps-should-update-guide and was suggested to contact you here.

A minor amendment to the guide may help others in future who want to host their services behind HAProxy.

Let me know if I can be of any more help. Thanks
