Hi Gert,
I am using ASG220 Rev 1.
Very low memory usage since updating to 7.180.
I am blocking all IM protocols and web surfing works sometimes w/o any delay and sometimes runs into timeout. No specific website.
BTW, Skype for Mac 2.7.0.195 is blocked successfully.

I´m using transparent proxy too. For a test, I´ve blocked all IM-Protocols:
creating an exception filter for skype for two hosts - APPLY O.K.
block all IM-protocols (including skype for all other hosts) APPLY O.K.
block all P2P-Protocols (APPLY NOK - got no apply message)
ASG stops responding - no ssh, no ping
After restarting the box, it was not possible to connect the ASG or to get an internet connection. Only the console lives.
