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.

    The weirdness continues. I configured a third port on the box in its own zone to try to get Sophos to find the internet not across the bridge. I hadn't even connected the port to the LAN and the traffic on my network was experiencing the same exact symptoms. It appears that anytime I have any default route configured on the system it breaks, regardless of if it is on an active port or not. This screams software bug to me, but if anyone has anything to try im up for it.
