Configuring a default gateway breaks most web connectivity - XG in bridge mode

Andrew Palumbo

Hi,

I am using Sophos XG Firewall in bridge mode, and if I setup one of the ports into the WAN zone and point it to the gateway for the network, or setup a default route to the gateway for the network, I can no longer web to most websites or internal gear. its the most bizarre thing. I need Sophos to be able to see the internet so it can properly categorize traffic in the web filter, however, anytime I setup the default gateway it breaks everything. I currently have the ports in the bridge both configured in the LAN zone, and this allows the web connections to work (unless I configure a static default route). Im lost for answers here, any advise would be appreciated.

    You can work with the Default WAN Zone or with Routes (Static or SD-WAN). Both works fine. Default WAN Zone will simply create a default gateway 0.0.0.0. You can build this rule by yourself, if you want.

    Right, the problem is anytime this route is configured I lose the ability to web to most websites. I can ping them, just cannot web to them. Even affects internal network gear. No web access, only pings... and it’s random. Like I can get to google.com and do a web search, but I can’t get to central.Sophos.com for example. It’s really odd
