Thank you for your reply. Your suggestion worked just fine. I went even further and I used verbose=0, and it is much faster now. And, for my own curiosity, I tried to compare the throughputs between using zorp and without using zorp. In one configuration, I download a webpage 100 times through the machine with zorp running. In other configuration, I download the same webpage 100 times directly from our internet gateway router without going through the zorp machine. To my surpise, I got the following results: Each test includes 100 downloads. Test # Average throughput Configuration Zorp Direct 1 737.4 Kbps 642.7 Kbps 2 711.7 Kbps 646.9 Kbps 3 721.6 Kbps 615.7 Kbps According to the result, zorp actually made the connection faster. What kind of magic are you guys playing?

"Slow" means the following: For the same webpage, without Zorp, it takes about a second to display. But, with Zorp, it takes about 20 seconds to display. I understand that Zorp would some latency, but not to this extent. So I thought there should be something wrong.
Yes, this latency is too much.
Configuration is like the following: (1) Zorp machine is configured as a bridge mode with a bridge (br0) IP address 192.168.11.101. Currently, both eth2 and eth3 are added to the bridge. And Zorp is running. (2) Client notebook's IP address is 192.168.11.13, and is connected to eth2 of the Zorp machine. (3) Eth3 of Zorp machine is connected to our Internet Gateway Router (IP address 192.168.11.1) through which it can go to the internet.
The file instances.conf includes the following line: zorp --verbose=10 --policy /usr/local/etc/zorp/policy.py --autobind-ip 1.2.3.4
I think I've found the problem, --verbose=10 generates a _LOT_ of messages to your system log, try with the default value of 3 which is more sensible.
