20% speed increase with firewall keyword filter off

[BreakingDad]

Just something I discovered last night,

Turned off the keyword filter on the firewall (asus rt-n66u merlin.43) , 20% speed increase on speedtest.

I had about 30 or so prohibited words, most involving warez, limewire, darknet etc.

Turned this filter off 80mbps download becomes 102mbps.

Thanks for the info, although most of us already knew that (more noticeable on faster connections), since it disables HW acceleration.

Thank you BreakingDad, did not know this. Very good find, especially for people that don't know it all.
