Many users like to use thunder to download various resources, because Thunder can download resources from multiple high-speed sites at the same time through image search, so as to download resources at full speed. However, for enterprise owners/network administrators, high-speed downloading uses limited network resources and allows other users to endure low speeds while enjoying high speeds, it even affects the high speed of the entire network. However, because thunder uses the standard http protocol for downloading, and it cannot be blocked by other means, we have to find a way to reduce the impact of thunder on the network.
To reduce the impact of thunder on the network, we should mainly consider the setting of the router where the network is located. Setting firewall rules for a vro can reduce the impact on the network caused by the use of thunder downloads in the intranet.
For many enterprises or Internet cafe network administrators, this restriction on the network is rarely used. I use a vro of a specific brand as an example, describes how to Set firewall rules for a vro to reduce the impact of Intranet thunder downloads on the network.
Set firewall rules for the vro. This method cannot completely prohibit Intranet users from using thunder for download, but it can restrict users from using thunder to search for resources and only allow them to download from the original address. In addition, a task of thunder is set to 35 threads by default, so it will occupy a lot of bandwidth and connections during download ), the following method limits thunder to use only five threads to download from the original address, which is similar to flash get download and direct download from the web page.
1. go to the "IP Filter/Firewall Setup> General Setup" page of The vro to check whether the "Data Filter" item has been enabled and whether it has been executed since "Set #2.
2. Go to the "IP Filter/Firewall Setup" Page and click Configure rules in "Set #2.
3. Set the second rule. You need to set the following three rules. Note: The first rule is the default setting. Do not modify it.
4. Follow these steps to set the second rule to block the three ports used by thunder.
