We have been noticing some weird issues with how our UTM is handing craigslist.org. I saw another thread on here were other Sophos customers started mentioning craigslist issues but the original thread topic was not about craigslist... https://community.sophos.com/products/unified-threat-management/astaroorg/f/55/t/45887 I have done a little digging If I restart the UTM, nothing changes. ie Craigslist still doesn't work. If Web Filtering is turned off, the page loads as expected. If Web Filtering is turned back on, craigslist loads as expected for "a little while." Several hours perhaps? The problematic file is http://www.craigslist.org/styles/clnew.css The browser will eventually load part of the file, but not completely. We are currently running 9.102-8. I am aware of the available 9.103-5 update. Maybe this pending update would fix this issue. Is anyone else experiencing these issues?

I don't think this is entirely a Sophos UTM issue: I've observed the same behavior from a laptop on both Sprint and Verizon cellular networks as well as networks behind a SonicWall and non-web proxied Sophos UTM networks.

I think the reason you are seeing this "disappear" when you turn off Web Filtering is the UTM's lack of "support" for gzip encoding.

I contacted Astaro about this, and they say it is a known bug they are working on. The bug ID is 27369.

Yes, same here. CraigsList must have changed their files. We did not update our UTM

I am also having a weird issue with craigslist.

With web protection in transparent mode it seems all clients are blocked from this with the exception of 4 in one location. I checked those machines the users did not try and setup a proxy or anything like that and all seems fine but craigslist is not being blocked. I cleared all browsing history and so forth figuring it was cached still works fine. Anyone else experiance this. I am assuming the users have done something to get around the filter i just cant figure out what.
