Could not associate packet to any connection

Hello all,

We have a strange problem.

When connecting to the sites of a client (peugeot.nl citroen.nl dsautomobiles.nl) we receive a ERR_CONNECTION_RESET in chrome.

When enabling logging and looking into the log. I see a the following line:

2018-03-06 21:00:02

Invalid Traffic

Denied

172.16.20.1

136.243.12.72

50303

TCP

01001

Open PCAP

Could not associate packet to any connection.

We had this problem with firmware 17.03 so I just upgraded to 17.05. But this did not solve the problem.

Anybody ideas.

Hi,

no this is not a problem with the XG version. The ability to see these packets was added in mr-3, you can disable that if you wish, in system services -> log settings. There is also change to packet timeout which is supposed to reduce the incidence of those type entries in the log, in my case there was no change.

I found many similar Invalid packet Denied log in my XG UTM as well.

Most of them are traffic to TCP 80.

I does not have IPS nor web filter enabled.

Why we should ignore and disable the logging?

It is only for the invalid packets. Are you going to investigate the entries if not you are best off disabling reporting?

I am wondering why there's so many invalid packet to port 80 denied by the firewall.

Does it mean the established connection was unstable?

My simple understanding is for the internal devices one of the devices in the connection has dropped the connection and the other ed has failed to recognise that.

Where I have difficulty with the log entries is the number of entries showing that someone or something is trying to use my XG as http relay.
