Clean Up rule "from any, to any, drop" that's allowed on the Internet anyway !!! WTF ?

Hello  Rules and network config.  Which are very basic and simple to me.

Hi Big_Buck,

thank you for taking the time to edit and post those screenshots. I think we a revoking for a loop between a couple of the rules which is causing the firewall configuration to fail.

At a suitable where you have at least 30 minutes I would disable all those rules except rule id 3 and then try accessing the internet, that should fail.

Let all rules applying to one interface back and try to access the internet noting if any traffic is reported in rule id 3, allow about 2 to 3 minutes for the configuration stables before each test.

Repeat this for each interface.

The thing is we have four Sophos firewalls.  Two of them being XG105W. They all behave the same even though XG105Ws have only 5 very basic rules.  They all leak.

I'll bet an arm and a leg yours do the same without you knowing it ...

Sophos call me this PM.  Could not make any sens out of it, archived this unresolved case, and ask me to call them back when it happens again.

Hi Big_buck,

I had a rule and removed it on Flo's advice and still see the extra stuff being dropped and nothing being passed.

I will recreate the rule and post the logs afterwards.

This might seem like a silly question, are all your devices built at the same time eg a new installation or an upgrade from older versions. During v17b testing there were different issues reported depending on new installation or upgrade and depended on what you upgraded from?

Pretty pictures.

Hey Big_Buck 

Could you PM me with your case number so that I can followup with what has been troubleshooted already?

Case is now closed.

Support tech, opened Telnet session, generated few listings with linux shell commands. That's about it.  He did not telnet the other main firewall.

 A "Drop All/Clean Up" rule that allows traffic ...  What does it take to press the pannic button at Sophos ?

Hi Big_buck,

no details provided at this stage I assume? Hopefully Flo will come back with the answer because I am inquisitive or in other words a sticky beak?

No feedback whatsoever. These leaks happens every 3 days.  They'll wait I call back.  When I call back, they'll take 3 days to call me.  Looks like a dog running after his own tail in a bowling alley. 

I have been in recurrent communication with Sophos support since May, when we started this migration project.  Horror stories on all products.  For example, the WEB gateway that required SMBV1 ... Whatever they say, SMBv2 is still problems-some.  And why have they not implemented SMBv3 at the first place ?  There is no know way to connect the WEB gateway to XG as of now.  If you happen to have a VPN, PAC files and WPAD will fail.  Transparent proxy is impossible.   

I tested SEA yesterday (mail gateway).  Reporting in there is next to existent.  Navigating blind.  Only workaround is to buy third party product to have minimal visibility.

EndPoint has its own load of troubles.  Workstation that does not report for example.

Sophos support team permanently lives on the prayer next release will fix what they can't. 

Hello

I presume you have put BOTH "Firewall Rule ID is xx" and "Log Subtype is Allowed" filters in your log view ?
