How do i get my Sophos Home UTM Setup?

You will get faster, better answers here, Patrick, if you ask specific questions and show a picture of what you've tried that didn't work.

In general, the standard here is to bridge the router, not the UTM, and have the UTM do DHCP.

Hi, Bob thank you for your reply. I cannot bridge my router as i have Sky Broadband and they do not allow router bridging :( When i assigned the UTM the DHCP role and turned off DHCP on the sky router, i did receive DHCP requests from several devices, however they would not be able to surf the internet. I have two ethernet cables coming from the router to the UTM, one is connected into the LAN interface and the other is connected into the WAN interface, my question is how do i direct all traffic from my router to the firewall and how do i connect my lan devices to the firewall? Below is a screenshot of what i have the interfaces running as.

Good question, Patrick

1. Delete the "External" Interface
2. Edit the "Internal" Interface:
   1. Rename it to "Bridge" for clarity
   2. Change the type to "Ethernet Bridge"
   3. Add eth0 to the bridge.
3. Connect eth0 to the Sky router
4. Connect eth2 to your switch
5. Connect all devices to the switch
6. Configure Web Filtering in "Full Transparent" mode

PS Moving this from General Discussion to the Hardware & Installation forum.

Hi, again, i tried this method and it worked! However the firewall doesnt seem to be working as it is saying 0 packets have been filtered and that 0 web requests have been processed:

Can you tell me why this is happening?

Open the Web Filtering Live Log and browse to something - does anything show in the log?  Next, check the Firewall log in 'Logging & Reporting' - is anything there after you made the changes?

I had a look at both the web filtering log and the firewall log and this is what i got:

However websites are being blocked if they're banned in the rules.

From the command line as root, run:

/etc/init.d/postgresql92 rebuild

If that doesn't solve the problem, get backups off the UTM and load the current one into the root directory of a USB memory stick formatted FAT32.  Download a new copy of the software ISO, burn it to a DVD at 4x or slower and reload.  After the image is on your device, insert the memory stick and reboot - the configuration backup will be restored automatically.

Did either of those solve the problem?
