Any experience with an excessive number of ThunderVPN hits?

I recently set up a new XG firewall at our main branch location in order to assist with IPS and application control service.   I am currently using the "Block high risk (Risk Level 4 and 5) apps" setting for app control.

What I am noticing is a large amount of ThunderVPN hits on our network, and I'm at a bit of a loss on what could be causing this traffic.  I'm glad they are being blocked, but I wanted to see if anyone had any experience with this and what might be utilizing this service.

Our entire network consists of Dell workstations and the traffic is coming from various IP addresses, not just one machine.

Thanks in advance for any information!

  • Another piece of information, based on the Reports sections:

    Risk: 5
    Category: Proxy and Tunnel
    Application/proto:port: Thunder VPN
    Destination: 144.195.32.47      240 MB
                 198.251.234.113    69 MB
                 144.195.7.7        9 MB
                 144.195.59.144     120 MB
                 147.124.123.171    66 MB
                 

    Those addresses all seem to belong to Zoom:

    144.195.32.0/24
    AS30103 Zoom Video Communications, Inc

  • I am using Zoom on a daily basis but only saw those Thunder VPN entries once (22.07). 

    If i join a new meeting, it never gets classified in this category (anymore). Also those are odd time stamps for a zoom meeting (15:53, 11:08, 19:55, 21:09.). 

    Most likely i join a meeting on time or 1-2 minutes earlier. 

    It is always NTP Port 123 to Zoom. And i am not sure, when this traffic will be generated.

  • Hi,

    I haven't seem any thundervpn reports in logviewer since I upgraded the v18.5.1 MR-1 build 326 so in summary looks like IP4 might have been fixed, but not IPv6, I am still seeing manual proxy surfing in the IPv6 traffic.

    The upgrade was over 4 hours ago.

  • That's interesting. I upgraded to build 326 yesterday and am still seeing the Thunder VPN / port 123 reports in the Application filter log.

  • Hi,

    you are correct, they are still occurring. The is a 3.5 hour gap where none were reported, strange.

  • I need a pcap file of this traffic to provide the file to labs.

  • Please tell me how to capture a pcap file, i'll be more than happy to provide it to you.

  • tcpdump -ni any port 123 -b -w /tmp/thundervpn.pcap

  • Ok, got the file, how to deliver it to you?

  • I am not sure what will be found in my file because the faulty transactions are blocked by firewall rules. I was not able to capture any transactions using pcap.
