Issues After 9.405-5 update

Hey All,

  I noticed under the VPN section that there have been issues with the SSL VPN connections, however ever since I updated to 9.405-5 last night, almost all secure traffic I try to send (HTTPS & SSH) traffic seems to fail and not go outbound.  Or a better description, is that I can make an HTTPS connection to a site, and if I try to continue to browse the site, the connection times out or resets....  SSH connections to systems have been failing too.. i can ping these systems, but secure connections fail...  

  Am I going nuts here with this, or are my issues, and the SSL VPN issues potentially all related?

  • I think I'm hitting this issue as well. For the past 4 weeks my Obihai VOIP box and my Sprint Airave 2.5+ have both stopped working through the UTM.

  • Hi All,

    To all, the workaround on this issue is to disable "Pharming" in the Web Protection > Filtering options > Misc >  Pharming.

    Thanks

    I would have to concur that my issue is related to the MTU bug.  I just checked my outside interface, and yes, it's set to 576.

    If there is a patch coming soon, I'll wait it out, but if not, I'll follow the thread above to try to resolve manually.

    Pharming is not relevant to the MTU DHCP challenge described above.
    (Disabled Pharming, and UTM still accepts a MTU of 576 from DHCP server making.) 
    Testing with a MTU of 576 I'm able to Netflix and HBO, its just "a bit laggy" at times. I'm able to surf (slowly), and also ping as long a the packet is small enough.
    Based on the description above it seems Windows has a better implementation of Path MTU Discovery than the Linux client used.
    How come this is so hard? Optional usage of the MTU value from a DHCP server would be a start.
