Folding Forum

Thanks, this works and is useful to know for future use.

F@h already uses the correct number of threads. But when a GPU slot is paused (either manually or due to connection issues) then the CPU slot threads don't run at 100% (but around 97% instead). Deleting the GPU slot entirely allows the CPU slot to use the full 100%. It's just an observation, I can w...

This explains the issues with Fritzbox routers then. When you set up an URL blacklist on these routers then they automatically disable direct IP connections, unless they are specifically put on a white list. Once the blacklist ist empty it allows direct IP again.

Thanks, but the link you posted lists exactly the same problem and solution: empty the URL filter blacklist.

Does F@h try to connect via direct IP to any server?

Thanks. There is a difference between pausing and removing the slot, though. A paused GPU slot behaves the same as my currently unpaused forever-connecting GPU slot, both cause the CPU slot to only run at 97% instead of 100%. Only removing the GPU slot allows the CPU slot to run at 100%. It's not a ...

Hello.

When I remove the GPU slot and save then it is re-added after restarting F@h. Is this intended behavior?

If the "Folding Core Priority" option worked then it might also help with this issue. But in its current state F@h uses low/idle priority 4 regardless of what is set there.

The only firewall options available are: stealth mode (don't react ICMP), e-mail filter (port 25), Netbios filter, Teredo filter and WPAD filter. I will disable all for testing, but as I wrote F@h *does* work when I remove *all* URL filters from the black-list.

I went through the list in bigger steps and it seems that the list has to stay empty for the Fritzbox to allow F@h traffic. If anything is in there then F@h gets blocked. Nothing else in our household full of computers and smart-devices runs into this issue, though.

As soon as I clear my filter list from the Fritzbox F@h can connect. And I posted the complete list here. If none of these URLs are known then I have to go through the list one by one.

The "background" part was a given. But Windows does not push all background load to E cores. The applications I observed being pushed to E cores were Integer based while something like Cinebench (floating-point) is not pushed to E cores. That made sense, because E cores a good at Integer, ...

For Applications that start at a low/idle process priority there is another workaround to stop Windows from pushing it to E cores as background load: increase process priority "Above normal" (or higher). FOH starts at priority 4, regardless of what you set in its own preferences, so you ca...

Hello. My router is using the following list to filter traffic. FOH seems to need one of these URL to connect to its servers, though. Which one could it be? ff.kis.v2.scr.kaspersky-labs.com adservice.google.com doubleclick.net googleadservices.com googlesyndication.com telemetry.dropbox.com telemetr...
