UTM Version 9.353-4 Released

utmadm

I received email notifications about the 9.353-4 update this morning. It appeared on both of my UTMs this morning. One is supported hardware and the other is a virtual machine at home. I have not installed the update yet. I am waiting to see if others (who are braver than me) report any serious issues.

I have learned that Sophos UTM updates go out in phases. Your UTM may not have the update available yet. I have seen a gap of several weeks between when an update appears on my home UTM and when it appears on the hardware UTM.

Moderators: Feel free to edit the subject of this thread to add "Do not install!" if it seems appropriate. I won't complain. Hopefully this is a good, solid release.

Other forum members: Please comment here if you have installed the 9.353-4 update. Please share your experiences (good and bad) here. Thanks!

    Has anyone else experienced this? After reverting has the snort hit count gone back up?

    I had some threat protection warnings this morning where sophos blocked the connections. I hadn't seen this in a few months but every time it has been my barracuda asking my DNS servers to check domain names.

    followup here guys, might help some of you, if you are on 9.353-4 and having the flow monitor break and backend errors...

    I connected to my utm from wan side and the flow monitor works with no backend errors...
    need to confirm if its sorted itself out or if the issue is exhibited internally only

    update:

    been playing around, and have discovered the following:

    connecting to the utm internally (LAN) via my internal DNS nameing causes flow monitor to break and backend connection errors follow shortly after that

    connecting to the utm internally (LAN) via utm's IP address seemingly works fine, flow monitor works and no backend connection errors.

    connectng to the utm using external (WAN) IP and external DNS resolution works fine, FLow monitorw orks and no backend connection errors

    Hope this helps guys out in some way, either in keeping their current builds or in actually tracking down the issues

    confirmed using IP of UTM on internal (LAN) instead of DNS name of UTM allows access to flow monitor and also no backend connection errors

    Other messages in this hread sent me off to do some testing,can confirm it looks like browser caching involved,hence why people trying a different (previously unused) browser had better luck;

    For me, I stuck with chrome and did the following:

    chrome settings > advanced settings > clear browsing data
    cookies and other site and plugin data - checked
    cached images and files - checked

    clear that cache with above two allowed me to get back in with working flow monitor and also no back-end errors!

    I suspect similar purge on IE will do the same

    So using an different DNS name or direct IP instead of the original DNS name meant the data was cached separately and also explains why it worked under those conditions but not under the old access url

    Jeffshead,

    Thanks for letting us know that it can at least function in IE 11 and pointing to the fact it is something stored in IE that is causing the issue. Though ccleaner did the job for you what works as well is to go to tools, internet options, advanced and selecting reset and rebooting will also fix this issue (same concept just a different way of doing it). Doing this will reset the browser back to original settings but will retain favorites, proxy settings etc but you will have to reset you home page and some of the personalized n settings but was not a big deal to me. Flow monitor back to working in IE 11 now

  • After about a year it looks like its stable, About to try a 9.214 to latest on my ASG320.

    If the stuff hits the fan I have my

    • ISO at current version,
    • my backup file of current system,
    • and license file
    • USB CD drive

    Any other preparations before pushing the update button, going to do a reboot before running it?

  • For me flow monitor does not work anymore with Firefox ESR 38.6.1
    I tried other browsers (IE11, Chrome 48) and there it worked. So something has broken with Firefox Support...

    Hi, and welcome to the UTM Community!

    Probably, you just need to clear the browser cache in Firefox.
