Slow Latency through WEB Proxy

Hi,

i'm running Astaro Security Gateway since a few of years,... Now i installed a new maschine with ASG V7.507. When i run a test via speedtest.net i got latency via the WEB Proxy (standard also transparent mode) of approximatly 250ms. When i run the same test, with proxy disabled, i got latency of appr. 45ms.

The AntiVirus and the URL-Filtering is in proxy-mode disabled.

Hardware: Pentium 4 2,4GHz, 2GB RAM, 40GB IDE Harddisk
Dashboard Utilisation: CPU ~ 5-10%, RAM ~ 35-40%

Maybe you have some advice for me to fix the problem, because, without webproxy, i loose the ability to filter virusus and URL's.

Thanks in advance,
regards
Herbert

Hi,

thanks for your answers. The outcome of this discussion is:

http-proxy and urlfiltering = slow (due the design via astaros server) and local caching feature

http-proxy without urlfiltering = normal speed, only local caching, urlfiltering won't work

I want to have caching and urlfiltering with normal latency. This is not possible with astaros ASG. It's up to me if i can agree on this or if i choose another vendor, which fits my need!

I think urlfiltering is enabled in most companys. These companys can agree on this design? The administrator of the firewall has always to reconfigure the appliance, when the astaros servers are down.

Maybe astaro can think about an option to turn of the online checking and use local black and white lists. With this option everyone can use the best method for his network. And i don't think this should be a big task to enable this in software. Do you know where i can open a feature request for this?

Ok thanks,
regards
Herbert

Current urlfiltering is pretty kick ass. If it could just be stored locally, it would be kick-ass & ultra-fast [:)]

Let's hope they decide to do it

99% of all other utm's that Astaro competes against do this too so don't think you can run right to another vendor and get away from it.

fortinet - works pretty fine with the local cache (but has also challenges). But it is not the subject here to name other vendors. Each solution and vendor has its place where it fits.
