HowTo only allow proxied connections from lan to wan?

Alie2n

Hi,

I want to configure my policies in a way that only proxied connections are allowed from lan to wan. I don't want a transparent proxy.

I set up the proxy within my Sophos to accept connections on port 8080 from lan.

I set up a new policy group at the top with two rules:

  1. Allow traffic from lan to Sophos port 8080
  2. Reject all traffic from lan to wan

I setup a browser on my client to use the proxy on port 8080 on the Sophos.

I expected to be able to visit websites. I'm greeted with a webpage from the sophos proxy stating the the website cannot be reached.

If I add another policy allowin port 80 and 443 from lan to wan (as suggested by the docs) I can reach the websites without using a proxy. I did not find any documentation on how to achieve the wanted outcome.

Does anybody in the community have an idea what I did wrong?

Cheers,

Nicki

    Hi,

    you don’t need the second item.

    you will need to set firewall rule that has service as 8080 and enable the proxy by ticking allow all in the web setting. What do you expect port 8080 to connect to i internet? What security settings do you have in place?
