          It might be a MTU or Gateway problem

                  Can you look at the RRD graphs and see if the CPU load is high?

                    The CPU load is at zero.. The higest load is 30. :)

                      Are you running any packages?  The squid package in certain pfSense releases was known to cause major slowdowns.

                          Squid is a caching proxy - pfSense has a GUI installable package of this software available.  You can read all about it at www.squid-cache.org or in the packages forum.

                          When only http browsing is slow and other protocols/traffic is up to speed a proxy is likely the problem as it usually only interacts with http traffic.  Seeing as you don't know what it is, I doubt this is your case.

                              Would you say that Squid is a good package to install?

                              It looks to speed up the load of sites very much ? or just the speed of all :S

                                It can (but may not) increase the speed with which commonly viewed sites load.

                                    Not on pfSense itself.

                                    hello - I had the very same prob our friend here is describing, and this tip helped!

                                    Thanks much!
                                    What I find strange however, is WHY this started to happen all of a sudden.

                                    In any case - I hope it doesnt stop working soon like it did for this guys :p

                                    Thanks.
