    Hello,

     

    For now I am using an Lenovo ThinkCentre computer.

    has 4 gig ram

    Intel core 2 vpro CPU (e8400) @3ghz

    320 gig hard drive

    I have 4 network ports in mine. And also the Broadcom Network chips used by HP Network Server cards I believe can be an issue also. But yes Intel Network cards / chip sets work well.

    Using the home license currently running UTM ver 9.506-2

    Works very well for me.

    What kind of traffic you run through this? 100Mbit internet? Do you scan the traffic with 1 AV engine or 2? Thanks.

    Hello, I am on Mediacom Cable Modem with their Ultra Plus package.  As the cable companies fine print states up to 150 Mbps download speed and up to 20 megs upload speed. and 2TB of usage / Monthly bandwidth.  I do not have any TV except for streaming Netflix and Amazon Prime.  Under my Web Protection / FTP my Antivirus is set to Dual Scan.

    I primarly run Ubuntu Linux systems and then some Windows 7 / 10 at the moment. Windows and Linux updates and downloads seem to go just fine.

    I am trying to get the https scanning working or web filtering under web protection. Turn it on and everything works on Linux machines when I import the UTM Certificate, but after import on Windows boxes it does not work or display right, I think that issue is on the Windowzes side.

    In time I will utilize the VPN and HTML5 VPN connections.

    Right now I am using 3% CPU and 36% of the 4 gigs ram. I can not tell or notice any delays.

    Can you runhttp://www.speedtest.net/ couple of times, and say what are your transfers? In the meantime you can keep an eye on the CPU and RAM load graphs. If you run the test multiple times, it will start showing changes.
