how to allow a printer to communicate externally via SSL

Ezio Tirimacco

Hi to all,

I'm pretty new with Sophos XG Firewall.
I have a networked printer via LAN that needs to communicate with the outside to send status reports to the control panel via SSL.
Is there a way to allow this on the firewall? My idea is to create a rule that only allows outgoing traffic from the printer to the control panel using Printer_IP: port match

Thank you all

    I suggest you create a MAC address host for the printer, and create a firewall rule with it and web proxy enabled but without using DPI or SSL scanning. Just check the URL it is using.

    Or you could get the information, to which FQDN the printer is connecting to and allow 443 in that rule only to this FQDN and disable web proxy on that rule.

    Thank you for your answer,

    unfortunately I do not know to which address the printer sends the reports, but I only know that it communicates via ssl.
    Can you explain the steps to be taken on the fw to perform the action?
    I'm still learning the features
