Deployment / Re: HQ to Branch 20/20mbps on both sites using Hyper-V as host and TMG as UTM.

« on: September 21, 2017, 06:54:56 PM »

when I go to network / protocols I have graphs on both wan and lan, but seems to be a very small amount of it

That does not sound right. Even with bypass traffic, all the traffic will be graphed. E.g. a 10 Mbps bypass transfer will show 10 Mbps on the bypass and lan/wan stats. This would indicate that the traffic is not flowing over the bridge as intended.

The configs looks fine. Just check the traffic flow.

Hi,

It all sounds ok. What traffic policies are configured, can you attach a screenshot?

Also what protocol are you testing with?

If the traffic policy is only matching 172.0.10.0/24 and 172.0.20.0/24 and default #99 bypass, try setting UDP encapsulation and then switching the lan0/wan0 port roles. If the rest is as you say, I see no reason for TCP traffic e.g. HTTP, CIFS, FTP etc not to be optimized.

We'll generate trial keys for the temporary hardware and then the free keys for the production hardware.

Deployment / How to deploy on Azure

« on: September 05, 2017, 07:21:27 PM »

While work is in progress to establish the Azure MarketPlace image, in the meantime for those that asked for steps to deploy on Azure, here is a comprehensive powershell guide and script. Theoretically it can be automated, but it is recommended to run each command manually, at least for the first couple of deployments.

I wonder if the RAW disk image was maybe damaged during download.
dd usually works without issue.

Configuration / Re: redirection - external traffic going through wanos

Hi Smadon,

Yes, that would one possible way.
Also you would need the BranchNetwork to either use BranchWanos as gateway or add a route on the BranchNetwork workstations:

route add net 123.xx.xx.xx/yy 192.168.1.20

Configuration / Re: WANOS - Rest Webcache

« on: August 02, 2017, 06:15:29 PM »

Good point, clear datastore should probably clear the webcache as well.

Disable Webcache, run the line below, then enable again.

sudo rm -rf /wanos/webcache/var/cache/*

General Discussion / Re: SSL - own Certificate

« on: August 02, 2017, 02:48:03 PM »

A certificate is already generated and configured automatically. All that is required is to add the server host IP address (/32) in the SSL Host list. Then after saving the SSL server IP config, on the first access to the https site, accept the certificate in the browser.

Deployment / Re: Setup in Lab between branch Office and HQ through a VPN

« on: August 01, 2017, 09:47:47 AM »

Usually within a couple hours. Please send an email to support at wanos from. Sometimes trial keys are registered from an email address, that does not exist

Edit: postmaster undeliverable to hes-co.ch

Good idea to make a simple setup first.

There are no TCP option 76 tags in the TCPdump and therefore optimization is not going to work until that has been resolved:
1) Check that lan0 connects to the LAN side. In other words lan0 connects to the server on the HQ side. lan0 on the branch side connects to the workstation. Both wan0 connects to the network in between them, normally the routers/firewalls. Use the MAC address to determine that it is correct.
2) If running v.4.1.3, make sure the status says licensed and not "Unlicensed - Bypass". If bypass, send the tokens to support at wanos
3) Check the traffic policies to ensure that traffic is not bypassed with a bypass rule.

Think about it, after installing the images, all that is needed is to connect the wan0 interfaces together and start generating non-bypassed TCP traffic. If running >=4.1.3, then load a key as well.

Lastly tcpdump shows https traffic, so not expecting to see options there.

Hi smadon,

If the firewall cannot be configured to not strip TCP options, then I recommend to configure tunnel mode and not bridge mode.

General Discussion / Re: WanOs Performance Results

« on: July 25, 2017, 01:54:56 PM »

Wan Optimization is a collection of features. Some will accelerate encrypted traffic without decryption e.g:
Packet Loss Recovery & Reliable Stream Protocol
Forward Error Correction (FEC)
TCP Acceleration
Packet Aggregation / Packet Coalescing
Quality of Service

To apply these features to encrypted traffic, ensure that the application is not bypassed by default via the default encryption traffic policy.

The features above are often sufficient to accelerate encrypted traffic, but it is also possible to Cache, Compress and Deduplicate encrypted traffic when it is OK to Decrypt -> Optimize -> Re-Encrypt.

In the enterprise network, where the client is end to end responsible for the security of the HTTPS application, it is often acceptable. This is what Wanos focuses on in HTTPS caching and later deduplication+compression.

In the end user Internet scenario, where the ISP decrypts the end users HTTPS, that is quite a different scenario.

Hi Spiffster,

Nice to see you here. Actually there will be a license issue, since the v.3 licenses are not compatible with v.4. We'll need to issue new keys. Please see more details in my email.
