Sophos Firewall: v18.5 MR1: Feedback and experiences

The Exclusion Website Rule on ID1 is always enable. I am not able to understand, what you mean? Can you show us a screenshot? 

Will there be a v19 EAP in the future?

Yes - ETA is to be announced. You will see the EAP as usual in the community, once it is ready. 

Will it still be announced this year or 2022?

I cannot comment on that, as i am not a product manager. 

That is exactly what I am talking about, you can disable web exceptions but not SSL/TLS exceptions.Ian

You can turn It off if you want to.

Sorry,,if you want to experiment without having the default exception list get in the road, you cannot turn it off. Turn it off disables SSL/TLS as well as the exception list.

You can turn off the default exclusion list since v18 EAP, even the managed local TLS exclusion list can be disabled.

The only exclusion list you can't turn off is the hidden rule #0 for system exclusions. (Sophos domains.)

DPI Engine will still work fine.

Hi Prism,

there is nowhere to disable the default ssl/tls exception list even if you do not select in your rule. Whereas in the web exception list you can disable an exception list.
