FVS336G - fails to block traffic when data limit is reached.

I am using this older unit to manage two WAN connections. (My employers provided IP service and my personal)

My employers povided service has a data cap of 100G per month. However, I have discovered that when I reach that cap the VFS226G fails to block the traffic as configured. It just continues on sending and receiving.

 

I have it configured for load balancing. I would have thought it would still shut down the WAN when the data limit is reached. But not so.

 

If I have to upgrade my hardware (in order to get new software) then that would be OK - provided the v3 version works.

  • Even though this is an older unit, have you tried different versions of firmware?  Also, have you tried it with just 1 wan and does it work?
