I think I want to cry

MartyGworek

What is this? What has happened to such a great product? 

Setup was horrible. It used to be so simple, setup basic networking during install. Once I finally got in after having to change my network around, I still haven't figured out how to setup a simple nat.

I work for a tech company that I used to throw your name out in our meetings all the time on how we should be doing things.

I thought esets new version was a pain.

    I have NAT, http, imap/s, pop3/s, dual anti-whatever scanning, ATP and IPS enabled. I have 3 policies in place, one I don't think is setup correctly because it never reports traffic, it is country blocking.
    All my mail except https goes through the mail policy, there is no scan function for https in the mail area. Maybe I need to explore further. Mail scanning does work, but the statistics are screwed. According to the XG statistics I receive between 500-1000 mail messages a day. I suspect the reporting is just showing up a bug in the imap/s scanning processes. POP3/s seems to show usage correctly.

    To get the above functions working you either need client or clientless setup without either of those, the policies don't work correctly. There is poor function with clientless in this version of XG that you can't setup individual address because they require a mail address. I am led to believe this will be changed in the next release. So you can then assign fixed IP addressing to devices on your network.
    Once you start using clientless for those that don't have a home authentication system you will understand why XG is good for home or small business only. The updates to av etc packages appear to be slightly random or maybe when somebody get around to it because there weren't any over Christmas, subject of another thread, otherwise every couple of days.
