You know, I get some settings in some of these firewalls. But sometimes, they can be annoying. I ran into an issue on a SonicWall firewall that was causing a few internal users to reload a webpage four to five times to actually see the page. You can image this being frustrating to the customer.
As I looked in the log entries to try to figure out what was going on, I came across this error message: "Packet dropped; connection limit for this source IP address has been reached"
Well, that doesn't look good. There happens to be a rule under Firewall --> Access Rules (LAN --> WAN rule), where by default, there is an enabled setting that will probably cause you this issue.
So, I unchecked this setting, which again, is enabled by default.
That should work for you if you are seeing this issue.
This is the White Rhino Security blog, an IT technical blog about configs and topics related to the Network and Security Engineer working with Cisco, Brocade, Check Point, and Palo Alto and Sonicwall. I hope this blog serves you well. -- May The Lord bless you and keep you. May He shine His face upon you, and bring you peace.
