Are Fastrack and Wireguard mutually exclusive?

Sat Apr 09, 2022 3:02 pm

I have 1G/35M at home, but have a relative with symmetrical 2G. I duplicated my QNAP box and hooked it into a hEX at their place, then set up two WG tunnels between it and my 5009; traffic to .124/24 on my end ends up on their end, traffic to .126/24 on their end ends up on mine.

But I also expected to do QNAP RTRR backups and NFS mounts from them to me and only getting ~175Mbits/sec thruput, and was surprised at such a slowdown, also verified via iPerf3. One thing I noticed in /ip/firewall/connections is there's no Fastrack on either side of this tunnel. If I dst-nat a hole from my side's external IP to the iPerf server on their side (i.e., bypassing the local-network tunnel) speeds are in the ~750Mbit range, as expected, so it's not a thruput issue per se.

So are FT and WG mutually exclusive? Is that kind of limited speed expected, and is that due to the WG encryption, or lack of FT? Both boxes are hovering at > 50% when I'm sending a lot of traffic
