Cannot group and sort firewall rules in Central Firewall Manager

I manage my firewalls through central firewall management. I imported the rules from a firewall to keep them consistent across all firewalls and manage them centrally. Unfortunately, the central management does not offer any options for sorting the rules and displaying the groups as in SFOS. When I add a firewall to the groups, the rules are imported unsorted and no longer exist in the groups. If I change a rule in central, then it is adjusted on the firewalls, but in turn it is removed from the group and placed at the end of the list.

In this way, the central administration of the rules is not usable for me, since I have more effort than if I adjust the rules individually on the firewalls. Please change to Central as soon as possible!

  • Thank you for posting this experience here. I hope someone from Sophos acknowledges this issue and forwards this to development.

    I think Central Firewall Groups is not ready yet. It's a good idea but only at some beta status.

    I posted earlier that re-adding a firewall to Central when it was in a Central firewall group before causes synchronization issues. This has not changed.

    Dealing such issues with Sophos Support is really a big pain and waste of time as they refuse to recreate the issue at their side, always bothering you with logs, recreate issues again and again at your side.
