Astaro eating my bandwidth

emaart
Hi

I am sitting in South Africa where bandwidth is expensive, slow and limited.
I get 5GB a month, if that is finished I'm capped and have to buy more bandwidth.

In the last 30 days, Astaro blew 7.1GB of my precious bandwidth...
5.1GB went to ec2-175-41-169-159.ap-southeast-1.compute.amazonaws.com
2GB went to several mailshell.net servers.

Note: This is not traffic from my internal network, this is my Astaro box alone, wasting my bandwidth.

How do I stop mailshell and what is being done about the amazon thing (I know some other people is also experiencing this)

Thank is advance

    Oh, so you guys are seeing traffic dropped drastically without doing anything.

    I thought it was because my packet filter rule that reduced it.

    I also went further and blocked that server under URL Filtering and I don't seem to get any Updates entire Saturday for Both ClamAV and Avira. Did you all get any updates or it happen that saturday there is no updates released.

    Astaro should just come clean, what this is about and what they are doing to fix it.

    Fixing it is one thing, convincing users that this software can be trusted, users have full control is another thing.

    Who knows maybe they would just make sure it does not appear in reports and that is it.

    Maybe need another Firewall in Front of Astaro to be sure unauthorized traffic does not go unnoticed.
