    Ok, I'll try to remember that.

    It looks kind of strange to me the zone principle.

    It looks to me that only pre-defined services are possible in this zone.

    Somehow I don't get along with the zone principle.

    Is one set up a new thread.

    Thank you very much for the great support, but always remember that the user-friendliness in the XG still needs to be improved, in my opinion :-), but that's another topic.

    Thank you again for the good support from you. I've learned a little about it.

    Greetings and thanks

    The point is: Zone, user based firewall etc. is not invented by Sophos. It is a concept of next generation firewalls. Other vendors do the same. So its not about user friendliness, more likely your background with other products. Somebody coming from UTM (stateful firewall with attached modules) can get confused about this kind of interaction, but luckly, XG can do the same like UTM, if you want.
