ASA WebVPN - many (not all) sites unavailable

brendan.perez
Level 1
Level 1

ASA5505 running ASA 9:

From the clientless SSL portal, I can browse some sites like:

www.cnn.com

www.lvrj.com

www.sunherald.com

www.arstechnica.com

These sites immediately come up as server unavailable:

www.facebook.com

www.bing.com

www.google.com

www.yahoo.com

www.cisco.com

This site used to show completely, now the part with the IP doesn't show up:

www.whatsmyip.org

I tried going back to 8.4 and these problems still happen.

Can anyone help me figure out the rhyme or reason for this?

Hi Brendan,

Are you using an internal or external DNS server? Have you tried with 4.2.2.2?

I have tried cisco.com and facebook.com without issues.

HTH.

Portu.

Please rate any helpful posts

I was using my internal DNS servers, but will try external.

They are MS AD servers that do all the lookups with root hints (no forwarders)

From machines on the inside of the network, I can browse all those sites so some resolution is happening.

I'll switch the DNS servers it uses and report back.

Sounds good

Still fails. 

What's odd is that I'm seeing TCP resets when I go to the pages that fail.  Here's the log info I have for an attempt to browse www.cisco.com.  I paused logging, got to the portal page where I put in address, resumed logging and hit enter.  I changed some things.  FWInternetIP is the ip on the outside interface, Client IP is the IP that I'm on from the test computer.

What if you try with a bookmark with smart-tunnel enabled?

Thanks.

I get a delay and then the browser's "unable to connect" page, but only for the sites I listed above .

Still no cisco, facebook, yahoo, google, fark.  Slashdot, lvrj, twitter, sunherald are OK.

If I do an anyconnect vpn with my tunnel all profile, I can do anything/go anywhere without a problem.  My hosts on the inside are OK too, so I think that rules out DNS.

I'm going over my config for perhaps inspection or some other craziness and don't see anything there either:

dns domain-lookup outside

dns domain-lookup inside

dns server-group DefaultDNS

name-server Internal1 (Removed during later testing

name-server Internal2 (Removed during later testing)

name-server 8.8.8.8

name-server 8.8.4.4

domain-name internaldomain.local

same-security-traffic permit intra-interface

webvpn

tunnel-group VPN_SSL general-attributes

address-pool VPN_Pool

default-group-policy VPN_SSL

I think it's DNS + IPv6 that's causing the problem.  I don't have IPv6 enabled on any interfaces. I'll poke around and reply back with anything I find.

It's FIXED!

On the outside interface config, IPv6 tab "Enable IPv6" was NOT checked, but the box "Enable address autoconfiguration" WAS checked.

I verified by toggling that checkbox, clearing the cache and trying to ping the problem sites.  Checked=no dice, unchecked=working.

Thank You jportugu for answering my posts and offering suggestions.

Awesome!!

I'm having this same issue but IPv6 is definitely disabled on all interfaces. Also I do not get any IPv6 addresses with the command "show dns-hosts"
