Sonos and XG

I tried to do this, but it didn't make any difference. I find the interface of XG confusing and there is no button to completely disable the web filter that I can see. The IPs are my Sonos speakers.

Hi,

 you don't disable the web filter, you just don't add it to your firewall rule.

Please see the explanation given above about creating a firewall fule at the top for your sonos devices only.

The XG uses a different approach to application filtering etc to the UTM and most home routers. The XG approach is the current industry NGF in protection, other companies have similar approaches..

Hi,

Yeah ok, but I am not sure how to create this rule, sorry. I don't know what needs to be in it....

Hi Sven,

after breakfast I will post a rule that you can try out.

Ian

Hi Sven,

the following should give you a rule that achieves your goal.

1/. create a fixed IP address for your sonos either by dhcp static or in the sonos itself.

2/. create a rule at the top of the list, destination any, network any, source any, network the IP address of your sonos.

3/. add your sonos IP address to the match known user tab.

4/. add nat (MASQ)

5/. add gateway.

6/. tick log traffic box.
