Unable to Run a Speed Test

Applies to: Intego ONE for Mac · Firewall

If Intego ONE’s speed test or another speed test won’t run while the firewall is on, try these steps in order. Continue only if the previous step doesn’t help.

Try the built-in Intego ONE speed test

  1. Open Intego ONE and go to the Firewall dashboard.
  2. Find the Speed Test section and select Speed Test.
  3. Wait for the test to finish, then review the results.

See Firewall: Speed Test for more detail.

Check for a Firewall block on external speed test services

If you're trying to use an external speed test (speedtest.net, fast.com, or a desktop speed test app) and it won't load or run:

  1. Open Intego ONE and go to Firewall > Traffic Control Settings.
  2. Search for a Block rule that matches the speed test’s domain or desktop app.
  3. If you find one, remove it or change it to Allow.
  4. If there’s no matching rule, select + and create an Allow rule for the domain or app.
  5. Run the speed test again.

Still not resolved?

If you're still unable to run a speed test after trying the steps above, submit a request and include:

  • The speed test you’re using, such as Intego ONE’s built-in test, a website, or a desktop app.
  • Whether it works when the Firewall is temporarily disabled
  • The exact error message, if any
  • A screenshot or screen recording of what happens when you try to run the test
