E2.4 Slow Internet after Virus Definitions Update

[Guest]

Hi All,

Recently my virus definitions were updated in Endian 2.4 and now my internet connection is very slow. I have tried the following:

1. Rebooting the Box
2. I have turned Virus Scanning off but kept content filtering turned on in the proxy and this seems to fix the issue but now I have no Virus Scanning.

Just wondering if anyone has any ideas?

Thanks,
Kings

Having the same problem here... Without virus scan browsing through the proxy is fast. but once activated, the virus scan slows down,sometimes taking so long that the user feels that the page has freezed in between page loads not always but at an irritatingly high  frequency..


Any solutions?

I "was" having the slow browsing issue reported at many support forums in regard to Endian firewall.

The fix for this issue is to disable the outgoing firewall and everything will be sweet as. It is the outgoing firewall rules which slows down the speed of the internet. Outgoing rules enables you firewall to interrogate each packet received for external destination hence increasing the response time.

For safe browsing and fast browsing you can delete the rule of traffic forwarding port 80. Leave the rest as it is. It won't inspect the port 80 traffic.

For me it's working well.

I hope it is helpful for others.
