Performance Issues Firewall Stufe-2 and Extranet


DescriptionPerformance issues have been observed since the firewall software upgrade on August 11, 2025.

Individual connections require too many resources, which disadvantages other users.
These users experience higher latencies, which can lead to slow websites, file transfers, etc.

As a first step, the software update suggested by the manufacturer was installed on September 16. This has not yet led to any actual improvement. Troubleshooting together with the manufacturer is ongoing.
