I'm on Astaro 7.005, and I'm a new user. I am a highly experienced firewall administrator, however. Part of the reason I'm trying out Astaro at home is to evaluate it for possible use as the standard security gateway we would sell and implement to our customers, current and future.
The problem I'm having is that when I enable virus scanning in the HTTP proxy (I have it set to transparent, but I've also tried it in standard mode), downloads completely fail in Opera (the Astaro download window, which I find highly annoying, never opens, and nothing happens). In IE (I have version 6 at home), the window opens, but it's broken. It either opens so small that all you see is a tiny bit of the Astaro graphic, or it opens a bit larger, the file downloads, and you can see the message telling you to click on some icon below to download the file from the firewall to your PC. The problem is the window is too small to see that icon, and you can't make it larger, or scroll in the window! So you have no way to get the file.
I would really like to be able to enable anti-virus scanning for HTTP, as this is becoming more and more of a threat on the Internet. I don't understand why this HTTP anti-virus proxy has to be so apparent to the end user. On the Sidewinder G2 firewalls I manage at work the anti-virus scanning on the HTTP proxy is completely invisible. The only way you can tell it's doing anything is that there's a slightly longer delay from when you click on the file/URL (while the firewall scans for viruses) to when the standard browser "Save As" window opens . There is no firewall window that opens. It works very well, and unobtrusively.
I'd appreciate any help anyone can provide.
