Massive performance issues on some websites
-
Try changing DNS to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 just for a little while and reboot.
See if it helps.
If thats not the issue, can we see your lan and wan firewall rules?
"unable to check for updates" seems like something very basic is broken.

Why are you unable to check for updates??

100% sure that won't help. We've used OpenDNS for years without an issue and it works fine in Endian.
Not to mention that internally the DNS saved in the firewall isn't even used as we use our own internal DNS server. -
Why are you unable to check for updates??
I'm not sure. If I copy and paste the update link from the failure message it loads on my PC fine and the package list updates on pfSense fine so I'm still really dumbfounded.
Offtopic: Slightly jealous of your speed there :-\ Management won't spend more on a faster link (Currently 10mb) and home internet is worse :(

Please just try google DNS just to placate my silly whims.

Pls. try Google DNS to see if the issue persits…

Same issue with Google DNS.

What is your wan IP? Is it public or private?
-
We need access to that box because something is wrong.
And I bet thats why its slow. Are you using any specified GW's on any other interface than WAN??
-
Yep - But I hate to ask. People are paranoid you know…
-
What is your wan IP? Is it public or private?
WAN IPs are public (Only 1 IP currently in use in our IP range).

Only 1 gateway specified and that's the WAN IF. Remote access won't be possible, IT manager would lose his &#@&.
I'm in the process of setting up a 2nd pfSense VM (With only Open VM Tools installed) from the 2.1.5 install image and I'll manually setup rules and config again so no bad config comes across. If I can get it working like that then I'll add snort back in and hope that it all works.

That sounds like a reasonable action.

Ipv4/v6 issue can cause update check failure.

Could it be ipv6 enabled sites that are loading slowly?
