Sophos blocks KeePass Password Manager

Hi,

I'm using Sophos Endpoint Security and Control 10.0, and unfortunately it blocks the HTTP or WebSocket Connection between the Firefox Addon KeeFox and the Password Manager KeePass. When I disable Sophos Web Protection its working, when Web Protection is enabled KeeFox is not able to connect. The issue is described in the KeeFox Forum aswell: https://discussions.zoho.com/keefox/topic/keefox-doesn-t-connect-to-keepass

The KeeFox Developer is describing the connection process like this:

KeeFox and KPRPC communicate using a websocket on 12546 but that socket is usually only established following a "successful" HTTP connection to the same port (for technical websocket implementation reasons). Where "successful" means that the connection to the port was closed in a way that indicates KPRPC is listening for web socket connections. That's not fool-proof, hence the recent addition of a fallback where the HTTP connection success is ignored and the web socket connection is attempted every 80ish seconds anyway

In my opinion Sophos Web Protection shouldn't block this kind of connections....

best regards

  • I am not so sure about the KeeFox, If it a website. Please follow the below.

    Go to respective machine " Antivirus & Hips" policy and please select Autherization and select Websites and add that respective URL or domain and click on apply and wait for few minutes and try it. I hope it works.

    Or if you enabled the web control policy. Please go to exceptions, under allow websites please add it and allow it.
