Time based restrictions using UMT not local?

[stevebtas]

I use time based restrictions in the firewall module to restrict my son’s internet access to set times. It hasn’t been working since the upgrade to v1.11 (no preserve). From a bit of quick testing it looks like the restrictions are being applied based on UMT (GMT for those of us older) rather than local Australian time. Ie I added a block on my ipad for 09:00-10:00 and even though its 19:35 here my ipad was blocked (its 09:35 in Britain). My guess is the module is using non local time.

There has been an update/fix

And then please do post back whether it fixed the issue as I’ve been looking for feedback on it.

[stevebtas]

Will do. I take it that its another dont preserve setting upgrade? Reason I ask is i only just updated last weekend and loaded in the 70 static ip assignments...it took a while

[Lantis]

This one should be ok.

The blocking rule is based on the time of the router, not the time of the iPad. Check the correct time zone setting:


Yes, the summer/winter time shift has been corrected and is available for download in the previous post.

Roman, timezone is correct. My point is that the rules being applied appear to be using uncorrected UMT rather than local timezone.

Upgraded using the latest build (and preserved settings so i didnt have to retype all the ip address assignments).
All seems to be working well and as far as I can see its solved the timezone problem.
One thing i am not sure about is the new build doesnt seem to be as responsive but thats very subjective so could just be my imagination.

OK, just had to reboot. Traffic across the ethernet to my server was slowing down last night and when I got up this morning ping was over 3 seconds and throughput down to virtually nil.
I have rebooted and will see what happens. Ping still seems high going via gargoyle but not if I connect directly to my network gateway.

Stats at moment are:

Is QOS turned on?

Try turning it off for a test?
