A list of items that I think should be fixed in v17.1

rfcat_vk

Hi folks,

 a little list of items in XG that are broken and need fixing either before v17.1 is released or as part of v17.1 - this is based on my usage.

This is not a wish list of things to be added.

1/. IPv6 (bring it up to UTM standard)

2/. reporting - generate the reports at the time they are scheduled

3/. reporting - correct the published date/time reports are generated in the report

4/. change all KBytes etc to standard kbits/mbits/gbits/tbits

5/. fix the values in the usage report so the totals add up correctly.

6/. fix categoristation so that it actually reports categories instead of 16,000 or greater uncatergorised sites daily

7/. change reports to show correct countries, I currently have reports showing my users as sourcing large quantities of data from a reserved address (which is correct 192.168.x.x) and destinations as being other countries.

8/. fix country blocking so that it doesn't block my own country and the US.

9/. fix APs using 5ghz SSIDs (there is an outstanding fix acknowledged by Sophos).

10/. fix the use VLANs in network rules.

11/. fix IPS reports so that my users are not seen as attacking sites

12/. fix logviewer so that is either captures all traffic from internal devices or displays captured traffic. I have had devices trying to connect to the internet but no records show.

13/. fix reports so that they show the traffic from VLANs.

14/. fix the network management report so that it differentiates IPv4 and iPv6 traffic instead of showing the same traffic against both.

15/. fix the dashboard network traffic display (shown as part of the rules) so that the displayed values have some meaning, my links are on a good day 4mb/s and when a users is downloading an update the pink display shows 20,30 or more mb/s

    - I would like to see an option for a concise report like SG where you just get a single page snapshot of your hardware, different daemons etc. with total bandwidth used clearly marked.

    KB and kb are so easy to fix but I bet you money, it won't be fixed.

    - Cagegorization... still won't be fixed but its nice to dream about it. Sophos av and now sophos categorization for some reason don't want to be big players in accurate detection and categorization. They are happy with mediocre performance and a new software release won't change that culture.

    - I still want to see live log. Not the log that refreshes every 30 seconds or whatever... I want immediate log like I would get using commandline like we already have in SG.

    - IPS on internal users is a hard one, since if you do get a virus, those IPS reports may actually be correct. I do agree that they need to cut down on false positives.

    - Dashboard cosmetic changes will probably come in v18 but who knows.

    The developers are overwhelmed by MR releases. They are having problems with vpn and other stability issues. While I don't use ipsec and I don't have stability problems, it points to the developers struggling with the complexity of the software. Keeping my fingers crossed for a stable release that delivers on what it promises.

    Hi Billybob,

    yes a virus on an internal device could cause the reports, but I don't think my printers or VoIP phones are susceptible. I get false positives on my Mac Book Pro which is not running any MS products. I can see the IPS rules, just can't figure out an easy way to disable them.
