All Web pages loads very slowly with a fast internet connection

Dear Sophos Team,

 

Our company moved to the latest Sophos XG 105 (firmware SFOS 17.1.0 GA) with 15 users and we are overall very happy with it.

We currently only have the base firewall licence and shortly the network & web protection (license not received yet).

 

We have it coupled with a modem ZYXEL that acts as a PPPoE with a Fiber Optical line at 100mb/s up and down.

 

When we test the connection speed with speedtest.net, everything goes fast at 99 mb/s which is perfect.

However, when we are surfing, the speed to access a page is extremely slow like if the Sophos was doing many checks before grading the different elements.

Before the change to Sophos with exactly the same line, we didn't have such a slow down which makes us beleive that it is coming from the Sophos.

We have added a Firewall rule Lan-to-Internet which is very basic without any scanning or protection. Only Maskerading is ticked -> Without this, no internet access.

Can someone kindly help us to reslove this issue please ? I have attached different screenshot below.

 

THANKS in advance

Sam

  • Here is the result of the speed test. All is perfect.

    I don't have a spare switch to put between the modem and the Sophos Firewall. I am actually suprised that you are suggesting this.

    For information, this morning I tested with our previous Router and everything is perfect with it. All webpages are loading very well !

    Please check the video where you see the page loading very quickly without the sophos (same modem, same wifi): https://youtu.be/0ZSH_KyZUIk

    I am tempted to request a refund as this is not wroking properly !

    Any other idea would be appreciate ?

  • If you can download a file at full download speed behind firewall,i would check the DNS. If you are not finding any issues with DNS settings, we are running out of options.

  • Bonjour,

     

    Je me permets de vous répondre en Français car je vois que le speedtest est en français! 

    Effectivement comme le soulignent les autres personnes il pourrait s'agit d'un problème de DNS, ou alors d'un problème de configuration sur le Firewall.

    Sur quels serveurs DNS pointe le client sur lequel le test de connexion est effectué ?
