r1man 3 Posted October 20, 2022 Share Posted October 20, 2022 Hi. I installed Eset Smart Security. I noticed it does disconnect my VPN upon running speed test at speedtest.net or download test file from https://speed.hetzner.de/ When speed is close to 100Mbps, then it disconnects VPN. I tried to disable Firewall, but it did happen again. What should I do? Thank you very much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

r1man 3 Posted October 21, 2022 Author Share Posted October 21, 2022 I am very much happy now. With the help and screenshots in the post above, I could find the problem and now running speed test and getting speeds above 100 doesn't make a disconnection from VPN. Update: The problem happened again after 15min. I did these steps that made the disconnection go away: Thid disable the: Why the problem disappeared for 15 min, and then started back again?

Most Valued Members peteyt 360 Posted October 23, 2022 Most Valued Members Share Posted October 23, 2022 What do you have your network setting set to e.g. home or public. I know when set as public things can get blocked a lot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r1man 3 Posted October 24, 2022 Author Share Posted October 24, 2022 (edited) @itman @peteyt I disabled the SSDP service. It did happen again. I found similar topic mentioned in link below, but I have no clue what steps to take now. Disabled: I did unblock these: moved these in Trusted: Any idea what to do now? Why VPN only gets disconnected when download speeds gets higher? If not downloading, all is ok. Edited October 24, 2022 by r1man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Marcos 4,705 Posted October 24, 2022 Administrators Share Posted October 24, 2022 Does temporarily pausing or disabling the ESET firewall make a difference? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r1man 3 Posted October 24, 2022 Author Share Posted October 24, 2022 I did pause Firewall, but again it disconnects. Would inspecting Log files help someone as ESET to determine my issue, please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Marcos 4,705 Posted October 24, 2022 Administrators Share Posted October 24, 2022 You must first narrow it down. If pausing the firewall didn't make any difference, does disabling it in the advanced setup do? Does temporarily changing the product to ESET NOD32 Antivirus make a difference? If not, what about temporarily uninstalling ESET completely and keeping Defender enabled? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r1man 3 Posted October 24, 2022 Author Share Posted October 24, 2022 Disabling Firewall from the Advanced Settings also did not help. I did revert the app to the Nod32 few days ago, but it did not help. I will try again now. After I uninstalled Nod32, I did not test with Defender. I did install Kaspersky Internet Security and did test with it, and it was ok. I also tested with Bitdefender Total Security but did not happen with it as well. Let me again, install Nod32 and report back here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r1man 3 Posted October 24, 2022 Author Share Posted October 24, 2022 I now am on the Nod32 V16. Tested several times and all is ok. No disconnection from VPN happened after download speed got higher with running speedtest or with file download. What should I do next?

r1man 3 Posted October 24, 2022 Author Share Posted October 24, 2022 You mean to keep Nord32 V16 and don't get back to ESET Smart Security premium 16 yet? This happened with ESET Smart Security premium v15 as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the issue returns after changing the product back to ESSP v16, please open a support ticket for investigation. I'd expect network slowdown with 10Gb NIC but not with a 100 Mb one.

r1man 3 Posted October 24, 2022 Author Share Posted October 24, 2022 Ok, but slowdown is not my case. I have VPN getting disconnected when running speedtest or file download upon when speeds get higher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solution r1man 3 Posted October 31, 2022 Author Solution Share Posted October 31, 2022 I could find out that it was the DriverEasy software, that I used after clean installation of Windows to update all the drivers, caused the problem. Maybe it did download excess drivers and unnecessary ones. I did clean install of Windows two times and tested few times, and thus finally could determine it was DriverEasy making the problem.
