2.3 firewall tab -rules slow

[maverick_slo]

Hi!

Firewall rules are really annoying low to load.
It has been reported that it has sth to do with pfBlocker but that`s not true in my case.
See here: https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/5752

I have no pfBlocker and my firewall rules page tales like 5-8 seconds to load up.

And if you have to create 20+ rules you`re in deep trouble as it will take forever to add them :S

Can someone please take a look?

Thanks!

I have 19 rules on WAN and it's quite fast reloading.  I added a new rule and it was also fast.  You might have something else going on.

I do have snort and squid installed.
but that`s it.

Do you have any large aliases? Even ones that aren't from pfBlocker.

[maverick_slo]

I have one, with 7 ip's in it…

Also do you have browser extensions active? 1password, LastPass, ad Blocker??

We have seen a number of issues that seem to be related to these.

Hi!
No.
Tried with chrome,ie and firefox.

I have pfblockerng installed, not too many other rules than the default and my page loads in about 2 secs.

[maverick_slo]

For me browser kind of freeze I also cant use other tabs etc… It behaves like ultra high load page...

[maverick_slo]

heh, seems to me that firefox (with no addons) performs the worst.
IE is fastest…

IE is fastest

I don't think I've ever seen these three particular words together in this exact order before.

[maverick_slo]

Yeah I know.
I dont know what do I feel about that :)

[heper]

while it does seem that the rules page isn't as snappy as it was a couple of weeks ago, i don't see more then a couple of seconds of delay with 40-ish rules.

edit:
-just reverted back to a 20d old firewall_rules.php & there is no difference in speed.

so if there is a difference & not just my imagination, then its  possibly due to a different change.

Someone who can reproduce it in Firefox, load up Firebug, enable it, and watch the Net panel as the page loads, see where the delay is

Specifically, in the lower right, there is an output of the total time and the onload delay (which would imply a JS issue)

[maverick_slo]

I`m on it.

[jimp]

If I had to guess, I'd say it's from the entire alias contents being placed into the hover popup, rather than cutting it off after a few entries as it used to. Makes the page pretty large especially with large aliases. Though I'd expect systems with small or no aliases to still be fast.

Hmm that's with the built-in stuff in FF, not Firebug, that doesn't show the JS delay.

For that you can use Tools > Web Developer > Performance and then start recording data, reload the slow page, and then stop.

[maverick_slo]

Did it, I can send you .JSON in PM?
Seems that jquery is the culprit.
Page actually took 8 seconds to load.
