I'm working with astaro support but i wanted to see if anyone is getting random but often errors from astaro about connection resets or timeouts with the proxy turned on?
Hi Guys,
please come down a bit.
In 7.100 he have seen that the improved performance of the http proxy caused random error in a specific packetfitler module that handles process based outbound control.
This error sometimes dropped packets as it was not able to determine the process sending it, and therefore better dropping it.
This was the reason that sometimes you got a "could not connect to server" message.
In 7.101, this and a few other things are fixed.
If there are still experiancing issues with 7.101, please tell us here, as so far none is known.
thx Gert

Another issue with v7.101 is random re-starts, not all appear to be logged, but I do get e-mails advising a restart.
okay, I thought sometimes this will come up in that discussion. Yes I have the restarts as well

I just changed isp's yesterday and decided to try cdw today and low and behold it worked. I can't see why that would effect the proxy. Maybe if the provider has an inline proxy on there and it does not work well with astaro. Granted it is transparent to the end user but I have known for a few years they were using it and it never caused issues.
Just my 2 cents on the issue

VZ doesn't use invisible proxies form what i have ever seen both on my connection and searches on the inet. Of course if it is a vz issue that would be interesting. However the fact that this issue did not start until after 7.1 still points back to the astaro. If i put in my ipcop hard disk it works fine without issues.
I wasn't trying to say it was the isp as the issue. I was just trying to shed some light on the situation. I also know it was working prior. It also worked fine through the old provider when I skipped the proxy.
