The "ping" test of online speed tests isn't a real ping test. In fact, the speed tests themselves are fairly meaningless where you have a proxy that scans for content and malware. There are tests you can run to calculate the overhead for each of the things happening, but the most-likely culprit for slow internet access is incorrectly configured DNS.

not necessarily as i've shown more than once....when it comes to the proxy there's more than just dns..usually it's not dns when the http proxy is involved. A wholistic approach has to be taken when troubleshooting in this instance.
It probably won't happen, at least not in this form; Sophos staff have stated that Astaro/UTM will be switching to the Sophos content filter system in an upcoming version.
Few Weeks back, NBC.com was compromised and serving Malware.
- I purposely went to that site simply just to see if Sophos UTM (Latest Version and Definition) would protect me.
- Web Protection as in Content Filtering did NOT Block saying it is compromised what so ever.
- Web Protection as in Anti-Virus did NOT detect anything either ( I enabled Both)
- Network Intrusion Prevention System (With ALL Signatures including Extra Enabled) did NOT detect anything either.
- So ENTIRE UTM did not protect me at all layers.
- Seriously getting more and more disappointed.
- It was McAfee Site Advisors, Bit Defender Traffic Lights, Open DNS, Symantec End Point, Google Chrome build in filtering that did alert.
- Another thing this SOPHOS need to improve is a easier way to submit malicious URL.
- I did find a URL to submit to Astaro (I forget where is it now and I am not keen to use that super tedious form to log in and submit one url) but they should just be on VirusTotal.
As to why TrustedSource (Which is what Astaro / Sophos UTM is using for Web Content Filtering) is NOT flagging the website as malicious BUT Site Advisor ( All belongs to Mcafee) flagged it is beyond me.
