Title: [SOLVED] Extremely long time for web pages to load whether squid is on or off.
Post by: jljb66 on August 30, 2018, 05:17:41 pm

Can someone have some advise on this please.

Running ADSL 25d/10u internet. Very stable provider. When I test with ipfire or pfsense, browsing is fine using IE. firefox or chrome. Very responsive.

When running opnsense latest, pages take up to 2 minutes to load. once in cache, they load much quicker.

DNS seems like its working fine. Tried with and without squid running. ping response to site <18 ms. No dropped packets or errors. cpu < 2%, mem 1.2gb free.

Not sure what diagnostics more to do.

It seems that a port forward rule for port 80 still hung around after I disabled web proxy. It was redirecting all port 80 traffic to the proxy server 3128 port.

Now web site loading is instantaneous. Boy that was frustrating.... >:(
