After installing the plugin and ensuring the kernel module was loaded at boot by following the post-install instructions, the throughput was still signicantly slower than before adding a second NIC.

I was starting to think that there might be a problem with the hardware and began the process to return it to the vendor.

Virtualized NIC with a Linux bridge# As one last shot, I created Linux Bridge in the Proxmox GUI with the Realtek NIC and passed it through to the OPNsense VM:

I re-configured the WAN interface in OPNsense to use the newly added network device, and the download and upload speeds returned to average levels. This also bypasses the need for installing Realtek FreeBSD drivers on the OPNsense VM, since the network device is virtual and managed on the Proxmox host (debian-based).

I re-configured the WAN interface in OPNsense to use the newly added network device, and the download and upload speeds returned to the typical speeds. Another added benefit to this setup is that it bypasses the need for installing Realtek FreeBSD drivers on the OPNsense VM, since the network device is virtual and managed on the Proxmox host (debian-based).

Conclusion# Although I am not sure why passing through a Realtek NIC to an OPNsense VM causes so much degradation in throughput, I am glad that there is a workaround. If I get my hands on another NIC, I will try to see if the issue can be reproduced.
