Hi, i am new to Sophos UTM 9 and playing with this firewall from a week or so. i just want to configure some basic rules which i am unable to do so. i have experience with pfsense and untangle but this one is different. what i am trying to achieve is that: allow all traffic to network block some websites which includes (facebook, linkedin, twitter etc) both http & https. block p2p softwares i have figured out how to allow a single host or a network. when i am using this with Transparent Mode it does not allow https request and returns the certificate is not trusted error(cannot even open gmail.com). when i try this with standard mode it does nothing(google is not even accessible). tried both with "none" authentication mode. Thanks in advance.

New to Sophos UTM9,

Hi,
i am new to Sophos UTM 9 and playing with this firewall from a week or so. i just want to configure some basic rules which i am unable to do so. i have experience with pfsense and untangle but this one is different.
what i am trying to achieve is that:

allow all traffic to network
block some websites which includes (facebook, linkedin, twitter etc) both http & https.
block p2p softwares

i have figured out how to allow a single host or a network.
when i am using this with Transparent Mode it does not allow https request and returns the certificate is not trusted error(cannot even open gmail.com).
when i try this with standard mode it does nothing(google is not even accessible).
tried both with "none" authentication mode.

Thanks in advance.

I think you'll have to configure your browser not to send local addresses (and your sophos webadmin) to the proxy.

Managing several Sophos UTMs and Sophos XGs both at work and at some home locations, dedicated to continuously improve IT-security and feeling well helping others with their IT-security challenges.

Sometimes I post some useful tips on my blog, see blog.pijnappels.eu/category/sophos/ for Sophos related posts.
