All sites being blocked for one user after upgrade to 7.5

I upgraded from 7.405 to 7.5 last night.

This morning one of my users can't visit any web sites.

The Content Filter logs show:

This might be related to my other error for which I keep getting email notifications:

The spam filter daemon is unable to reach the database servers via HTTP. Please make sure that the device is able to send HTTP (TCP port 80) requests to the Internet. You may have to allow such traffic on upstream devices.
Any ideas how to fix this?

Thanks,

James.

  • James, try flushing the Astaro's DNS cache.

  • Thanks Bob.

    Clicked on Flush resolver cache now. User still can't connect. He tells me that it is his machine (running Vista) and another machine in the same room running XP. No reports from anyone else.

    He's restarting his machine now.

    James.
  • Looks like it is happening to other users now too:

  • DNS proxy is showing:

    The log is full of entries like this.

    James.
  • It looks like you aren't getting DNS resolution from your ISP.

    Try using an OpenDNS forwarder instead: 208.67.222.222

  • We use our own DNS, which I've just restarted in case that was the issue.

    Do you mean set this up in Network Services/DNS/Forwarders?

    I've added OpenDNS here, but still get the same problem.
  • I can look up cffs04.astaro.com from my machine (ie using our local DNS).

    So why can't Astaro?

    Even if I tell it to use OpenDNS in the Forwarders tab.

    James.
  • We recommend:

    Internal users point at internal name server for name resolution.

    Internal name server points at Astaro as the forwarder.

    Astaro points at the ISP's name server.

    OK. This is what we do.

    Internal name server points at Astaro as the forwarder.


    The DNS's network settings have Astaro as the gateway - is this enough or do I have to change some BIND settings?

    Astaro points at the ISP's name server.


    I currently have 'Allowed Networks' empty in the 'Global' section. Is this correct or should I put Internal here?

    In the 'Forwarders' tab I have now added OpenDNS. Is this correct?

    Thanks,

    James.
  • Allowed Networks = IPs of Internal Name Servers

    OpenDNS and, after that. your ISP's name servers?
