Sophos XG Firewall Setup Issue, no traffic is passing through WAN and no user is listed

Hi Everyone,

I am new to Sophos and Sophos Firewall in general. 

I have installed a Sophos XG Firewall on VirtualBox for testing purposes by help of this forum but I do not see any traffic or user passing through the WAN.

The virrtualbox is installed on my laptop.

The screen shoots of Sophos XG Virtual Box network settings.

The screen shoots of network setting of Virutal Box installation.

Screen shoots of Firewall network.

 

What is wrong?

Thanks

  • I have the following Firewall rules already set. ID-1 was pre-configured and ID-2 I made it.

  • Junaid,

    thanks for the screenshots. Are the users using the XG as default gateway?

    Is the XG able to go on internet? You can check it using ping.

    Also from a client side, issue a traceroute command to google and share the results.

    Regards

  • The gateway is set as below in firewall and Firewall rule ID-2 is passing through this gateway.

    Ping to google.com from the firewall Diagnostics tools on port 2 shows this

    Below are the trace route results from my laptop where Sophos XG firewall is installed on a virtualbox.

    The Gateway on broadband router provided by ISP is also 192.168.1.1

    See blow results from the command prompt.

     

    Thanks

  • Junaid,

    in order to pass through XG you have to configure only 172.16.16.x/24 on a computer and make sure that this ip is reachable from that pc.

    In your case you have configured both XG ip and Wifi (which is directly connected to your ISP router). You can always test the XG by configuring your cient to use XG as a proxy.
