HTTP Proxy blocking netflix streaming to PS3 but not to anythign else...

Hi all,

New Endian user here and I gotta say I love it!

I do have one peculiar problem... and I hope someone can help me out! In my infinite experiment feats, I've enabled the HTTP proxy, with port 8080 as the default proxy port. It is set to allow http and https traffic and is set as transparent for the green zone.

Once enabled, though, my PS3 cannot stream any Netflix movies. I can load up the interface, I can choose a  but I can't stream - it tries to buffer (and I can see incoming traffic) but it stops stating that "Netflix has a problem playing this title" and in Endian status monitoring I can see incoming stream which seems to be lost in the router - what comes into the WAN port does not seem to go out the LAN port.

I did a bit of logging and what I see is in the screenshot below.

It looks as if I am getting a TCP_MISS message but I can't seem to figure out how to get past it... disabling the proxy gets the streaming to work just fine. Here's another interesting fact.... all my other devices on the same LAN network can stream without a single problem.

Any suggestions??

Thanks

You could try
1. By passing the proxy for netflix
2. Disabling the Anti Virus protection on the proxy.

I'll give it a shot tomorrow however... why would the antivirus block netflix? Maybe because of it's streaming properties?

Looks like it's getting a 503 error... then a 200 OK but then another 503; weird. Anyway, bypassing the proxy seems to have resolved the problem.

Also - the content filter sucks
