[ask] ROS v3.7 proxy doesn't cache apple.com no more?

RouterOS Beginner Basics

dear all,

i’m using ros v3.7 and tried the new cache hit dscp (tos) and it works. somehow i notice not all sites are cached, for example, apple.com is not being cached by mikrotik proxy no more. :frowning:

are you guys having same problem with me?

Did I type that out ???

pardon me, i don’t get what your point is.

i also notice the bandwidth management is not working so well when using this new proxy from mikrotik. fyi, i’m using mikrotik routeros v3.7.

will serialize-connections make bandwidth management out of control when someone is using the whole bandwidth through such as download manager or so?

what is pro and cons for using always-from-cache?

will this pentium 3 1ghz cpu, 384mb sdram ram, 4gb system hdd and 80gb cache hdd, work just fine to manage around 65 computers using pcq for equal bandwidth sharing among users and mikrotik proxy?

or should i change the box with pentium dual-core e2140, 2gb ddr2 ram, the same hdd as the above? will i get better system responsive for bandwidth management with the new future box?

thanks in advance. :slight_smile:

downgrade to v2.9.51 and voila! apple.com is cached again. i notice v2.9.x web-proxy is better than v3.7. the only cons in v2.9 is how to by pass hit cache so we get full LAN speed.

does anybody here know how to by pass ROS 2.9.51 internal web-proxy HIT cache?
