XG firewall v18: Need a good starting point to build off of

Hello everyone..

I finally got Sophos XG v18 up and running and now I could use a little guidance.  Coming from PFsense, I do have some exp with firewalls,

but I am learning sophos as I have time on my hands..

Sophos is on a test network right now with the WAN adapter on the internet and I am running 3 vlans.  Can anyone give me a solid starting setup akin to opening all internal traffic and blocking everything inbound as to create a safe starting environment and then I will work on vlan rules and adjust policies as well going forward?

Still learning Sophos, just want a solid starting point.  One that is functional to working in, yet allows me to start editing policies and creating rules while not exposing systems to the net

 

Much appreciated.

  • Hi,

    when you built the XG a number of default rules would have been created, please review them as a basis for your next step.

    Also at the top of the forums there are a series of links to provide help. If after you have read and tried to I'm,ene those links please feel free to ask specific questions in each thread.
