Here is the scenario . 5 mb fiber Circuit. 10 bovpns.

Traffic on my route is always 90 % of the time on Red . however the load is low. When I do a speed test without the firewall connected I can Max my Speed rating and get 5mb. however when I add the firewall to the equation and run the speed test. I can only achive 2MB up and down rate. Should I have another router as my route in my routes section of the firebox says 10.0.0.0/24 10.0.99.14..

10.0.99.14 is the firewall..

Is this affecting traffic?

 
do you have any proxy services running? these usually impact performance
 
here are the specs from the WG site so you should not have an issue at all here. you may want to try setting the NIc of the firebox for 100 Mbps and full duplex and then try 10 and see if that makes a difference. I have had problems with the auto setting in the past
Firewall Throughput
(WFS/Fireware™ Pro)
225/240 Mbps
VPN Throughput
(WFS/Fireware™ Pro)
75/100 Mbps
Concurrent Sessions
200,000

Nodes supported (LAN IPs)

Yes for Http and and SMTP..

Whats the best configuration for incoming and out going mail. Same as http access?

 
it deends on what you are trying to do. I am using a filtered SMTP rule which only allows traffic to my SMTP server from our outsourced SPAM filtering vendors. for outgoing I have the rule set for outgoing traffic only from our email server
