Sophos Firewall: v19.0 MR1: Feedback and experiences

Hi, 

The problem has already been reported with v18.5 MR4 and we are waiting for a solution.
After upgrading to v19MR1 nothing has improved still a lot of spam is passed through.

Did you review the Emails like the KB states? 

Hi, 

Yes of course, all messages are below 10%.
Below is the spam message:

X-SASI-Version: Antispam-Engine: 5.1.1, AntispamData: 2022.7.26.85117
X-SASI-RCODE: 200
X-SASI-SpamProbability: 10%
X-SASI-Hits: BODYTEXTH_SIZE_10000_LESS 0.000000,

is it possible RBL are no longer used by Sophos Antispam and that's the reason?

I saw that RBL lists were used twice, so I think they work.

No, RBL definitely works, it's just the spam detection rate that is bad. We still have a customer with 18.5 MR2 running, since they complained about massive spam going through. I will upgrade that one today, so we will have a good comparison next week on 18.5 MR2 (old engine) vs. 19.0 MR1 (new engine).

We are running 18.5 MR2 too and it works very well.

Hi to all,

Where is the option to assign static IP address in SSL VPN configuration?

In the user configuration options only appear IPsec remote access with the IP address field, but nothing for the SSL VPN:

Is the same option for SSL VPN?

Thanks in advance,

Best regards.

Hi BAD,

first you have to activate "Use static IP Addresses:

Second go to your user and there will be a new "SSL VPN IP address IPv4" box:

The IP can only be in the range of the "Static IPv4 address range" which is noted on the SSL VPN global settings.

LuCar Toni Maybe the SSL VPN IP address box can be placed to the other static entries with the same behaviour (Enable / Disable) - so that the setting for static [any kind of vpn] ip could be the same.

Hi Thomas_XG,

Perfect!!!

Thanks for the info.

Best regards.
