Sophos XG NAT for essential services.

Hello all

I want to create NAT + Access rules for DNS and NTP so any UDP 53 and UDP 123 traffic targetted for WAN gets redirected to internal servers.

Can anyone suggest how that can be achieved? 

Thanks

  • Have you tried setting up a DNAT rule based on the service (DNS) to redirect to a new (internal) destination? You'd then have to allow access to the (internal) destination if it wasn't already provided.

    You could test with "dig @aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd sophos.com" where aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd is the internal DNS server's address. Once you have the access issue done, you could try the DNAT and see if the redirect happens.

  • (I tried this at home. I don't have an internal DNS server, so I redirected queries from Google to Cloudflare... except I forgot that since it's leaving my network in both cases, I needed to SNAT MASQ... And for various reasons, I ended up crashing the Sophos. It came back up with the erroneous rule there, and maybe the crash was just because I've been messing with settings all day and finally did one too many things, or maybe it was the lack of MASQ. I've disabled the NAT rule for now.)
