Everyone Please Read!!! Sophos Removed a Feature with No Notice

Hello everyone,

Most may not realize this because you don't use it, but Sophos has decided to remove a feature from our firewall with no notice at all.

They have removed the HTTP/HTTPS bookmark feature from clientless access on V17.X. This feature removal was previously announced and told it would be in an upcoming major release, I.E. V18. It would not affect V17.

Over the past weekend, Sophos decided to remove the feature from any device running V17.x. They did so with no notice at all. The hotfix was deployed the same day the notification was released. Here is the notification https://community.sophos.com/products/xg-firewall/b/blog/posts/sophos-xg-firewall-http-s-bookmarks-feature-retirement.

This feature may not matter to you, but I bring it up beacuse our firewall vendor decided to remove a feature from a production product with no notice whatsoever. I tagged  and  in the comments but did not get a response.

If Sophos will remove that feature with no notice, what will they do in the future? What an unbelievable move from a firewall vendor. We use this feature and have no alternative right now. WAF does not suport 2FA and we cannot install a VPN client as we don't own these machines.

Let's all ask for answers! How can Sophos do this with no warning?

Mike
