Allow IPTV IGMP traffic on wan/lan networks

Hi Jaymil,

Interesting question.

You can simply create a Firewall Rule to allow IGMP Services. For your reference, I have attached the screenshots:

For WAN/LAN communication you can create the same Firewall Rule vice versa, where Source = WAN Zone and Destination = LAN zone.

Hope that helps.

Did this address the issue?

I'm also trying to setup up BT you view on XG Home Edition, but can seem to get it working.

No I did not manage to get BT/Youview to work.

I also have BT You View, I have just fitted Sophos XG and it stops the Internet based channels from working.  I setup from scratch and created two firewall policies to test, on all traffic in from anywhere to all networks, one all traffic out from all network to any where.  Still my BT Youview stops working.  The second I go back to my BT home hub it works fine.  

I am connecting to the WAN via a BT Openreach modem using PPPoE

I enabled logging for everything but when I enable a filter to check the IP address the YouView box I get no drops etc (may be a red herring?)

Everything else looks good but I cant use the XG if I cant get my TV to work!

Any help would be great, I am pretty technical so if you need log dumps, changes to be made/tried I would be happy to help out :)

Hi All,

Can you create a Plain Firewall Rule i.e None Filter in Web protection and App protection "None" not allow all.

Update me if this works.

Thanks

hi

I have done that and still  not  working.

As soon as I connect youview box to home hub everything starts to work fine. 

My  current setup is 

homehub (dhcp turned off)

port  1 to Sophos XG with  dccp/dns active 

port  2 youview 

only way to get it youview to work  

so Sophos is 10.0.x.x and my wan is 192.168.x.x

Therefore Local LAN gateway is sophos and sophos WAN gateway is BT Home Hub

Hi Jaymil

Doesn't the Youview box need to talk directly to the BT Homehub full stop?

I think this might actually need to be a non-http based Business Application Rule with Natting involved for it to work. Ie. create rule that is reflexive and NATs communications from the homehub to the youview and the reflexive nature allows it back?

There's some special love connection between the two units iirc

Hope that helps?

I have a spare router (non BT homehub), I will try that on its own with the youview box tonight to see if the home hub is doing something 'clever' to make the internet content stream.

Hi Ben,

I haven't been on BT with a Youview box for a few years (or whatever the equivalent was) but they do some "smart" packet shaping on the homehub and other things so hopefully connecting it to another router will lay that one to rest.

If you want any help with the Business Application Rule, let me know :)

Cheers,

Emile

Thanks Emile

It looks like it works with a Draytek, no home hub required

Got this from a thread - 

This is how I got BT YouView working on Draytek Vigor 2860, I think the same setting should work on other Draytek router

 1 Go to NAT and click on Open Ports, any Index number

2 Enable Open Ports, enter the IP address of your YouView box and the port forwarding number, TCP/UDP 1024/8081

3 Go to Applications and click on IGMP. Enable IGMP Proxy and Snooping

4 Reboot router

Does the XG have IGMP proxy and snooping settings?

I have a Sonicwall TZ200 that I will try at home in the next few hours as well.
