SuSEFirewall slows down connection
by Christian Bohn 01 Feb '01

01 Feb '01

Hi! I encountered the following problem with the SuSEfirewall-skript: First of all, my configuration: I've got a Linux Box (SuSE 6.4) running as a DSL-Router (incl. Masquerading) for an internal Network. The firewall-skript (which Version doesn't really matter, I've tried out several versions, including the newest form Marc's Website) is installed on that Linux-Box. The Problem: HTTP & SSH are working well but when I try to connect to a Internet-Server via FTP, POP(sometimes) or SMTP it takes a long time (ca. 20sec) until data is transferred although the connection itself is established immediately. I do not think that it is a DNS problem, reverse&forward lookups are working well. Although I think that it has nothing to do with masquerading because if I work on the server console, the problem also occurs. If I shut down the firewall, everything is working fine! I hope somebody can help me an that this is not a FAQ ;-) bye Christian Bohn

I saw, that other people are interested too. So here's the mail I wrote to Matthias. But never forget to solve the problem of pornsite surfing in school at the roots. An the roots are the pupils, and not the net. Try to get a good supervision and everything works fine. I know that most of you are 'just' freaks and so it's naturally that you try to solve this problem on a technical level, buit it has to be solved on a social level. Ok, here's the rest of the mail: On Wed, Jan 31, 2001 at 01:40:35PM +0100, Daniele Frijia wrote: > On Wed, Jan 31, 2001 at 12:36:52PM +0100, Matthias Jaenichen wrote: > > is there any tool to filter pron and other rated sites and/or contents?
