sophostest.com - unable to test due to Sophos Scan exclusion recommendations

Hey, I cannot test our XG with the test site, you are providing: https://sophostest.com/

I've asked this once but forgot. Today I wanted to verify something but could'nt even find the request in the web filter log.

Of course, I could browse all the bad test sites.

This is because your test site is running on the same could servers, probably cloudfront.net, as you use for Sophos / Central services. And for those cloud servers (FQDN) there are http/https exceptions and the requests are not even scanned by webfilter.

Bad design for a (malware) test-site.

Can you please put the site on some stand-alone server so we can use it for testing the filters?

during my tests the site had the IP

13.225.87.17

  • I thought of that, but I think it will have bad impact on Central / Intercept-X communication.

    In the logs I can see that a lot of computers are communicating with the IPs belonging to sophostest.com

  • Then open a support case.

    But I don't think anything will change.

  • Where do you use sophostest.com as a recommend exclusion? Because basically you should not exclude this. And my tests always block this website. 

  • sophostest.com is not in the exclusion list.

    But in some FQDN of the recommended exclusion is also including the IPv4 of sophostest.com

  • Where do you use sophostest.com as a recommend exclusion?

    nowhere. Browsing to this side goes into the firewall rule belonging to the Sophos Central Exceptions.

    btw: seems to run on some AWS site:

  • sophostest.com is external hosted to do not have any relation to Sophos. If you know a recommended read or anything, which recommend to exlcude this, then feel free to report this to get this removed. 

    Then again: Why do you have a firewall rule including sophostest.com? 

  • I'm not including this site.  catched my point.

    This rule matches only because the same IPv4 is used by sophostest.com and some other sophos stuff.

    one example:

    "

    during my tests the site had the IP

    13.225.87.17"

  • Do you have a output of the logviewer using this 13. IP? Because sophostest.com should not use a sophos known address.
