Dear all,
since 6 month I am running Sophos XG as a virtual appliance on vmware ESXI. So far everything is set up as I need it but from time to time I have trouble finding/understanding the right settings for particular use cases.
I am using the latest Sophos Firmware, Sophos Endpoint Protection and Sophos Authenticator for various PCs.
right now I have the following issue:
I would like to open a link from noref.co (http://noref.co/?id=xxxxxxx)
Using my current settings, I get an error message on that page, that proxys aren't allowed. Message: "Proxys are not allowed to connect to this page, please connect directly"
This is what I did so far to find a solution:
1. In order to bypass the proxy temporarily, I created a firewall rule on the very top, with source being the IP address of the PC trying to connect to this page. Destination is "any" and none filtering rules are activated.
The result is, on noref.co the warning message disapears but now I only see a blank page. So nothing happens.
-> so no success
2. under Protect - Web - Advanced, I remove Port 80 in Web Proxy Configuration (only for testing purposes of course). Apparently, using this method I bypass the proxy but Sophos shows me blocked request warning:
The web site you are trying to access:
http://noref.co/?id=1511364520
is listed as a site within the category Dynamic DNS & ISP Sites
Current Internet Access Configuration for you does not allow visiting sites within this category at this time.
3. If I combine try number 1 and 2, I again end up seeing a blank page.
Here's where I'm stuck. So my questions are:
1. How do I properly bypass the webproxy of Sophos for a specific IP or PC? e.g. using a Transparent Skip list which I can't find in Sophos XG
2. How do I bypass the webfiltering by categories for a specific IP?
Any help is appreciated pointing me into the right direction.
Greetz,
Peter
