<![CDATA[WebGUI slow when WAN is down]]>I am noticing that whenever our WAN is down, pfSense runs at a crawl. Although the WebGUI is painfully slow, it doesn't time out. Only when the WAN link is 100% operational does the system run smooth. I found the following BUG documentation, however, this was from several years ago. Surely this has been resolved. Does anyone else experience this issue?

I am seeing that the possible causes are DNS.

And do you Connect to the webGUI through a FQDN or IP-address?

It can still be an issue if it Wastes time trying to resolve DNS requests that it can't forward.
