As if yesterday evening, I decided to give Sophos a go and set aside pfsense. I love pfsense and all but the instructions are hard to follow and the interface is very confusing. Anyhow, Upon setup up of Sophos UTM 9, I got the internet working and began playing with its features; mainly the network protection and web protection since these interest me. I went through most of the program but found myself at a loss for proper setup of a few key features. Before I ask my questions; i'd like to as that responses provide extremely simplified and very detailed step by step instructions. I am new and am still learning the lay of this land.
1. Network Protection; this seems to be running smoothly but I am finding myself in the need to open a lot of different ports to facilitate connectivity for a number of web services. Amazon and Netflix work without adding ports but the service is slightly degraded. Steam works pretty good without adding ports but Blizzard and or Bungie don't work without open ports. Is there a way to lets stuff like this pass through without disabling or handicapping the network protection by opening up so many ports?
2. Web Protection; I messed around with this but I can't get it to work stably. I turned it on but can't get clients to autoconfig to the proxy. Perhaps its my lack of understanding but I'm pretty sure I didn't set it up correctly. In lieu of this; is there a way to reset web protection back to default without wiping the entire installation and starting over? How do I force it to not filter web services like the ones mention above?
3. In pfsense; setup the software to force OpenDNS as the DNS usig Dynamis DNS and several other menu options. How do I setup the same OpenDNS connection with Sophos?
