3.9.0 experience – http failures

Thanks for Zeroshell! Love having the capability of an enterprise router for my home network!

This is just a report of my experience upgrading from 3.8.2 to 3.9.0. I am back to 3.8.2 and happy.

1. The upgrade went smoothly and reboot was accomplished without issue.
2. I didn’t notice any problems right away but a few hours later started getting failures trying to reach common websites such as http://www.cnn.com. Received errors such as “server took too long to respond” and “connection refused”.
3. I found that using the https side of the same sites TENDED to work, e.g., https://www.cnn.com
4. I didn’t think it could be a DNS issue but I set my client to 8.8.8.8 (google DNS) with the same result
5. I don’t have ANY firewall rules in ZS
6. I am doing QOS. I did not try turning off QOS.
7. I verified that the problem was caused by my ZS router by connecting a laptop directly to my DSL modem and was able to reach the same sites.
8. I also checked that my laptop and other computers do not have any proxy settings.

Thanks!
