Sophos Firewall: v19.0 EAP2: Feedback and experiences

Please enable "Add firewall rule" within one click with uncoupling "Add firewall rule" and DNAT assistant. Nobody uses DNAT assistant and if then there is enough space to place it next to the "Add firewall rule" button. Don't force us for all the firewall rules adding click twice instead of a one!

I was hoping that this will be fixed in v19.

I am actually not able to understand, what you mean. Could you give some screenshots context? 

I suspect he is talking about the server creation rule which probably should be called WAF creation, rather than DNAT?

Here are the screenshots. The same goes for nat. Logically the product is the firewall product, so most of all you will add firewall and nat rules, which it is really inefficient to to that all the time via the submenu. Imagine when you are installing a new firewall and have to create 100 fw rule and 40 NAT rule in average all the time for all firewalls.

The wave of "Enterprise NAT" rejection during v18 launch is long gone, so you can (should) adjust it now.

Small correction Add NAT rule should obviously open "NEW NAT rule page" - not firewall rule page :-)
