Pergisi Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Hi I’m having a problem with my devices stating “the network connection was lost” on some websites. It initially started happening on my iPad and I assumed it was because of the beta version I was on. However, it is now happening on my iPhone also which is a stable release. It’s intermittent and only happens on some websites. Sometimes those websites will work again but it’s been getting worse recently. A reboot usually did fix the issues but recently it’s not been helping. This issue has been present for months now because of the intermittency I didn’t think much of it but it’s not starting to get frustrating since I’m unable to load a lot of things after Google works. I have attached a video to show the symptoms. I’m looking forward to a reply with some troubleshooting steps Thank you IMG_0344.MP4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Netduma Liam Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Hey, welcome to the forum! Do you have adblocker enabled? If so, could you please disable it to confirm it's not causing the problem. Do you have this issue on any other devices or is it just these two Apple devices? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it does, we know we need to dig into the QoS setup a little more and to make sure everything's getting enough bandwidth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I pressed Never it made no difference but when I disabled QOS completely in the three-line menu as you said it has fixed the issue with the iOS devices.

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted August 31, 2021 Administrators Share Posted August 31, 2021 Interesting. On the iOS devices on the settings for the R2 connection, disable Private Addresses, disconnect then reconnect and see if it still occurs with QoS on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have disabled private address and upon reenabling QOS I’m back to having lost connection to websites for example the Netduma forums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are no manual Traffic Prioritization rules, only Duma Classified Games is enabled. I haven't adjusted the Bandwidth Allocation and Share Excess is enabled.

No and it's also occurring on my Mac where I can browse YouTube just fine but some images don't load. I have attached photos to show what I mean, this is on one page As the Honey ad is displaying I'm not using any AdBlocker or Extension on Safari Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted August 31, 2021 Administrators Share Posted August 31, 2021 That's really weird. Are you using a custom DNS? What settings have you changed specifically? Anything you can think of can help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything you can think of can help I’m using custom DNS, CloudFlare so I don’t think it would cause any issues but something to note. I think it’s strange it’s intermittent, so now I can access the forums on the WiFi but I couldn’t earlier. I can’t recall changing anything else, I just followed the recommended settings and did the Geo-Filter for my PS5 and set network congestion to around 70% and kept Duma Classified Games enabled, I’ve disabled the WiFi on the device and use an Apple Airport as the base station.

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted August 31, 2021 Administrators Share Posted August 31, 2021 Thanks for all that information so definitely two things there that jump out at me: DNS - CloudFlare is very popular and many people do use them for DNS so it's unlikely to be this but they can have outages sometimes so I'd first try removing that and see if the same issue occurs. Apple Airport - It's an Apple device and you're only having the issue on Apple devices as well so could be the QoS and Airport conflicting for some reason. I imagine it will be an inconvenience to remove this briefly and see if you get the issues direct to the R2 WiFi although this would be the ideal test. So instead, try making a Traffic Controller rule to the Airport and allow all traffic. What mode is the Airport in, does it assign IPs to the devices or is it in AP mode for example?
