Can not download large files on nginx of ipfire

Networking
1

Hello everyone,

I set up an Nginx server on IPFire, and I want the green network to be able to download files from this web server. Small files can be downloaded, but one of the files, which is 2 GB in size, cannot be downloaded. What could be the problem?

OpenVPN clients connected to my IPFire server can access the web server and download this 2 GB file, but devices on the green network cannot download it. I’ve set up my Nginx web server on the green network. What could be the issue? Why are small files downloadable, but the 2 GB file (an Ubuntu ISO) cannot be downloaded?

i can download inn.html but can not download test.iso(2GB):

What messages are in the nginx logs about the download?

for Nginx, you have to disable its file cache proxy that poses the download limit to 1GB.
under location / section in the nginx.conf:

    proxy_max_temp_file_size 0;

Thank you so much, dear @dr_techno and @bonnietwin.
My problem was with intrusion prevention; it was active. I disabled it, and it worked.
