Hello Forum Members,

I have noticed that after installing RB1100AHx2, it us uploading something up and consuming my whole upload bandwidth. Can anyone suggest me something.

The below pics are of two 1100AHx2.

The torch report is of 2nd rb.

Arjun Neupane

Check your DNS cache, and web-proxy aren’t open to Internet.
A torch that includes ports will be more helpful.

Thanks,
It was DNS, I had set “allow-remote-requests” to yes.

It wouldn’t be so big problem if you had blocked new incoming connections from wan side.

Make sure to uncheck " allow dns remote request" ..

Also do this

/ip firewall filter
add action=drop chain=input dst-port=53 in-interface=“ether1 - WAN” protocol=
tcp
add action=drop chain=input dst-port=53 in-interface=“ether1 - WAN” protocol=
udp

This is the best way to block any unwanted traffic..
