How to allow the traffic to specific IP that Sophos is blocking

For unknown reason, my Sophos XG is blocking specific IPs. Every few minutes, in the log viewer, i see a new denied package. How i can allow the traffic to this IP, and why it is blocked by the firewall ?

Hi Alex Kal

If you see the last column of the provided screenshot, it will provide the reason for denied traffic.

For Firewall Rule ID 0 - https://community.sophos.com/kb/en-us/131968

Some of the packets which are RST - TCP Reset packet denied in the firewall rule number 3, In the stateful infection and in connection tracking, if the traffic is not matched then the firewall will drop the traffic.

If you think that this is legitimate traffic and users is facing the issue, you can create Source IP host or IP host group based firewall rule and allow the traffic - https://community.sophos.com/kb/en-us/123579#Server-based%20routing, please use this article as reference and you can create a firewall rule and move the rule on top to allow the traffic.

Hey @Keyur . That's what i did right now:

1) Created new IP host with that IP in hosts and services.
2) Created Network address translation in Profiles.
3) Created firewall rule, using the above as outbound address.

That Didn't work. What i did wrong ?

Hi Alex Kal

Could you please let me know what issue are you facing? What specific access do you want to allow to the user? Please apply Default MASQ on the firewall rule and also verify the ISP gateway selected in the firewall rule.

For Denied messages, I have shared the details and no legit traffic is being denied, It would be great if you could share the screenshot of the firewall configuration.

You may use the packet capture - https://community.sophos.com/kb/en-us/123189

Hi

as Keyur advised you have a rule problem.

From the log that traffic is incoming not outgoing?
