7.001 Bad IPS Performance

Hi

I managed to kill my Firewall yesterday by accident...

The bad thing is it was just by using a bittorrent client.
I forgot that I had blocked bittorent in the P2P section. Therefore when I tried to download something from 1 client I obviously did not got anything but when I looked at the firewall (Duron 1.2) WebAdmin was very unresponsive, when I did manage to get in Dashboard was saying I was using 99% CPU and 80% of 768 MB RAM....

Is anyone else getting crap performance from their IPS or do I need to delve further into this?

I have seen same behaviour. I haven't blocked any p2p traffic but almost instantly after starting azureus on my macbook and beginning a download firewall cpu usage gets really high and hard disk led shows a lot of disk activity. At this point admin interface is really slow if responding at all. Azureus is also showing very low traffic, a few kilobytes per sec. After quiting Azureus things get back to normal after a while. Quick test shows this slowdown does not happen with IDS disabled.

The firewall was running version 7.000. I haven't got time to run more specific tests or dig any log files yet. I had to switch back to V6 for now.

Hey Mike

yes, i posted the same bug for v6.933 - "stress testing - running P2P software with no "allow" packet filter - caused box to completely lock up!"

Don't try to use the "Alert" in any of the "IM/P2P security" settings. I did and the ASG became unusable, I had to shut it down from the console if memory serves me correctly, every packet logs an entry in the logs and when 2 users are using MSN messenger during a game there are a lot of packets flying pack and forward.

The other thing is in any other mode you don't get any stats for IM.P2P traffic.
