Sophos Firewall: v19.0 MR1: Feedback and experiences

I can only highly recommend you to look out the open discussion about the opportunity. I cannot assist anymore than offer the dialog. 

This is pretty much what I did when I switched to Central Wireless. I substituted VLANs for the VXLANs that XG-based wireless used. I don't use the WiFi zone anymore, but instead it's three zones corresponding to three AP-based VLANs: LAN, Guest, and Work_IoT. (Actually, LAN is a bridge between an AP-based VLAN and a wired port for a server.)

Works great.

Hi Ian,

I wanted to ask if you have been able to correct the VOIP handling issues that emerged after upgrading to v19.0 MR1.  

Thanks,

Fred

Hi Frederick,

as far as I can tell I have fixed the issue, but still testing.

I changed the default settings for UDP timeouts as per the UDP thread, I still don't understand why they had to be changed because the settings worked previously. Next I changed the WAN QoS settings. as per a recommendation from a developer. I had these settings in my previous XG Home, the XG115W was a build from scratch and forgot to add the WAN QoS. The WAN QoS settings are strange and do not make sense to me, so I only set the outgoing values by trial and error.

Thank you very much for that information Ian.  It is very helpful.

I've also set DSCP Marking value 46 (EF) on my VOIP rule.

Thank you for the reminder, mine is set on gold class for the firewall rule and real time in the policy.
