Emule runs and Firewall shows 100% CPU Usage

Hello

my report shows me 100% CPU Usage..I use a barebone Neo with VIA Eden 1000MHz and 512MB RAM with a 7.001 Home-Licence. When i run my emule on my PC then i get 100% CPU usage. Intrusion Protection is inactive. Anti-Virus is inactive. Anti-Spam is inactive. Anti-Spyware is inactive. Only 2 NAt-Rules are active.

On Version 6.303 i got no porblem on the same maschine.

Check the mail queue, make sure you don't have a bunch of emails stuck.

Is network accounting on?

Try running TOP from a shell/console to see what is using the CPU.

allcam,
do you have any of the "protocol helpers" enabled. If you do make sure they are not in the "alert" mode. When in alert mode with msn messenger my system went into overload, removed the "alert" settings and everything went back to normal loads. There are no reports on traffic with normal settings.

Allcam,

I have the same issue... confd.plx & p-filter-reporte making my CPU going on to the roof.. Did you find the solution to the problem?

PS: I have it with Bitorrent clients as well.

I had this issue with asg v7.002, it is related to the packet filter rules, if you disable logging for the rules allowing de emule traffic the system normalizes... this issue happens also with bitorrent,

I ahve already posted about pfilter and others chewing up 100% cpu..this is why i am not running ASL right now. The issue is somehting is wrong with pfilter reporter. It's purely a v7 bug and nothing wrong with your hardware.

It's a bug in Astaro. If you have support, please open a trouble ticket.

Was this supposed to have been fixed in 7.003?

I'm seeing sporadic high CPU usage by pfilter-reporter.pl.

Thanks,
Barry

No. There is a bugfix in preparation which is supposed to shorten the time drastically where the reporter causes high CPU usage, and as far as I know it is considered one of the next up2dates.

Cheers,
Andreas

To fix this on my 7.005 box I have disabled IM/P2P Security. Now no more CPU Utilization at 100%. Also reported it to Astaro Support....still waiting on response.

Best regards,

Which rules were the IM/P2P rules triggering on? You can see this in the IPS logs...

I have the same problem here. Running ASL 7.005. Now I disabled the IM Security and it seems to be running okay. But also my ASL hangs when run about a day long and all that helps is a hard reboot of the machine...

Hello,

I have the same problem when skype is enabled on many machines in the network at the same time.

Last week Skype did have many problems. All Skypes did not get a connection to the Skype network and did try to connect the whole time. The Astaro logs did show UDP-Floods with 100 MBits on the internal Interface. We did ahve connection errors and timeouts. The ASG 7.007 (on a Intel 3.0 GHz / 1 GB RAM) did run to 100% CPU usage.

Astaro does not seem to be a very good firewall product! Go for the WatchGuard firewalls! They are awesome and work flawlessly!

astaro is fine..the latest version needs work..v4 was the best i've seen..v5 was ok and v6 i stayed away from. v7 has a ton of potential. Your statement leads one to believe you either haven't tried astaro that much or you are just trolling for watchguard.
