Locally generated traffic from sophos cli being dropped.

Hello Forum,

For some troubleshooting I want to generate traffic from the sophos UTM cli using nc or telnet, using the following commands.

root#telnet 192.168.100.1 512
root#nc -zv 192.168.100.1 512

The traffic is however being dropped by the sophos itself. I have even created an any any allow rule.

root# grep 192.168.100.1 /var/log/packetfilter.log
