HOW TO SECURE PORT FORWARDING IN SOPHOS XG FIREWALL

I have a cyberoam that I have recently updated the software and firmware to Sophos XG Firewall. I then configured port forwarding and recently got attacked by hackers. The server that was attacked was port forward to allow clients to access SQL Server for replication. These clients use modems to access internet so it's not possible to give them fix IP addresses as their IPs are dynamically provided by the ISP.

I use to use Sophos VPN profiles installed on the clients and later migrated to windows VPN which were far, far too slow compared to the port forwarding before the attack.

My Problem

  1. Is there a work around to provide a fix IP address for the clients to enable me to whitelist these IPs in the Sophos Firewall?
  2. How do i white list IPs in SOPHOS?

Note: I'm a novice in Networking :)

Added:

3. I wish to use the port forwarding while securing my server at the same time. Please help urgently needed.

Thank you all in advance.
