I was moving some stuff around at home and accidentally cold rebooted my Untangle server. After that, I started having weird problems.
Whenever I do a refresh of a web forum I visit, the page takes a long time to load. Spyware Blocker usually performing url blocking; most likely advertisements. They seem to be doubleclick advertisements. When it is doing this, in the lower left hand corner of my Firefox browser, I can see a heading that says "Connecting to <ip address of Untangle>" and it will stall out there for a while before finally opening the page. They were all blocked. I've seem this happen with some other websites as well. In the case of this website, it appear to be doubleclick.net ads. I've seen it happen with other websites and other advertisements.
Turning off Spyware Blocker corrects the problem. I tried turning off then removing Spyware Blocker and then adding it back to the rack. That didn't work.
I went ahead and shut down the server via the "shutdown" option on the system console itself. Once it booted back up, everything started working again. Seemed faster too!
The problem is resolved but I was curious if anyone else had come across something like this? Also, if someone else encounters this problem, this post will hopefully help them out.
As always, great product.
