Strange issue for seemingly random websites

Hi all, bit of a strange one this.

For the past few weeks a couple of the machines on our network are having sometimes intermittent issues when visiting various websites. I initially wasn't too convinced that this issue was to do with the XG we have installed, however, due to having to swap over to a backup internet connection last week that bypassed the XG I am fairly convinced the following is to do with the XG (due to the fact the issue was gone while the XG was out of the system).

So, on a couple of machines it seems like some websites either a) do not resolve correctly or b) do not fully load. It is also fairly intermittent. Ie one of the websites that this has been happening on for me now works, however some of the pages do not... For example:

http://younggodrecords.com/ works fine, however previously it had not been. If I navigate to one of the pages, I only see the following:

Now, looking at what is happening, it appears that the <head> of the website is not fully loading, or it is not pulling in whatever scripts it requires. This happens on various other sites.

So, I don't really know where to start with this, nothing has changed on the XG recently. Does anyone have any ideas?

Cheers

  • One thing I have noticed is that every site that this happens on, 0 is the last thing displayed on the page. I have also seen a 400 response at the bottom from time to time.

    Also, this behaviour is not limited to one browser. Same thing happens regardless of browser.

    Not sure if that is anything of use.

  • Hi RichardJones1, 

    Could you check your rules the traffic is traversing through ? Any Web filter / application /IPS logs found that is dropped and then the issue recurs again ?

    What are the DOS settings implemented on your XG ?

  • Hi, I have disabled the DOS Protection and DOS & Spoof Protection temporarily. Also the traffic rules are currently bare minimal, I now simply have the basic Lan > Wan network policy with the generalpolicy attached.

     

    I don't see anything specific standing out in the IPS logs.
