Title: http access slows to nothing when using WCF
Post by: pcnghana on August 26, 2014, 06:43:27 AM
The machine is a DFL-2560G.

Here is the scenario. I have defined three sets of IPs (High: 10.10.100.1-10.10.100.100), (Med: 10.10.100.101-10.10.100.254), and (Low:10.10.101.1-10.10.103.245) and created IP rules and Pipe Rules for each each Group.

IP-Rules
1-Group High: Action=NAT; SrcInt=lan1; DestInt=Wan1; DestNet=all-nets; Service=all_services
2-Group Med: Action=NAT; SrcInt=lan1; DestInt=Wan1; DestNet=all-nets; Service=http-outbound-wcf
3-Group Low: Action=NAT; SrcInt=lan1; DestInt=Wan1; DestNet=all-nets; Service=all_services

http-outbound-wcf uses an ALG that has WCF enabled and sites like facebook, youtube, etc. blocked. (some know to use https to get around the blocking and am working on a solution to that)

Pipes
Standard-out: Grouping=SourceIP; Network size=0; TotalBandwidth Limit=10000
There is only one Pipe Rule defined and enabled on the High Group, the others are disabled as part of troubleshooting the following problem.

Whenever I use the http-outbound-wcf service on Med Group all browsing comes to a near full stop. Filtering works like a charm. Take it off by using all_services and all is back to normal but no filtering. Is there something else that is preconfigured that may cause this behavior? Or, perhaps I have something missing from the configuration?

Thanks in advance for your assistance.

I recommend that you phone contact your regional D-Link support office and ask for help and information regarding this. We find that phone contact has better immediate results over using email.
Let us know how it goes please.

Ever tried regional support before when you are a native English speaker? No disrespect intended. I have a hearing difficulty and listening to some English dialects is quite difficult for me.

Guess I'll head elsewhere.
