Web control slows down internet to a crawl behind proxy/firewall

Hi, we are using latest v5 version of Endpoint Security to filter internet surfing on our organization. We are behind a proxy/firewall that I cant control but can ask for help.

 

When enabling Web Control, internet surfing slows to a crawl, sometimes it gives a timeout so we have to refresh pages. This happens on every machine we have (XP, Win 7, Win 8). I tried to set "Only Scan Application Protocols" with same result. When disabling Web Control component, internet works as expected.

 

I already bookmarked this webpage: hxxp://support.eset.com/kb332/ to see which ports needs to be opened, and these are the ones that I think that have to be enabled on the firewall, which I already asked and support confirmed they did:

 

To use the Parental control module (ESET Smart Security only): h1-arsp01-v.eset.com 91.228.166.42 h1-arsp02-v.eset.com 91.228.166.43 h3-arsp01-v.eset.com 91.228.167.141 h3-arsp02-v.eset.com 91.228.167.142 h5-arsp01-v.eset.com 38.90.226.14 h5-arsp02-v.eset.com 38.90.226.15
 

But when checking even from home doing telnet h1-arsp01-v.eset.com 80 I cannot reach the port, so Im not sure if proxy/firewall is filtering, or we are having another problem. 

 

This issue persists since year 2010, and "Marcos" from Eset Staff tried to help but we didn't reach any solution. Old link: hxxp://www.wilderssecurity.com/threads/endpoint-security-5-0-2126-0-lock-at-startup-and-web-control-slowdown.335523/

 

Please help

It could be a problem with forwarding DNS responses on your router. Please capture the communication using Wireshark. When done, compress the pcap log, upload it to a safe location and pm me a download link.

Hi Marcos, I sent a Wireshark capture as you asked. Please check your inbox. Thanks

Response from Marcos:

 

==============================

Hello,
as I assumed, there's an issue with receiving responses for DNS queries sent to your DNS server xx.xxxx.xxx.xxx. According to the log, it takes several seconds until a response "server failure" is received. Since Web control queries our DNS servers and evaluates responses, this creates a lag and website evaluation doesn't work. Try using Google DNS servers 8.8.8.8 or 4.4.4.4 which should help.

regards,

Marcos

Problem is we are already using Google DNS Servers, so we are looking it deeper.
