UTM as a transparent filter.

I know the UTM can do this, I'm hoping for some pointers where to go to do some further reading before I tackle this.

The background is that due to some networking changes in two of our offices involving one of our IT partners, we no longer have the option of running Internet traffic through the UTM and just routing private traffic to our partner's routers' VPN tunnels. I still like the UTM as a product so was hoping to keep it as our primary network firewall and web filter, running all traffic through the UTM, but run the UTM as a transparent filter.

First, is getting the thing into the network as simple as creating a bridge between two interfaces (leaving a third as a management port), setting up and Any - Any - Any rule, and then inserting the UTM in between the gateway router and switch?

  • Yes, and, if you're using the Transparent Proxy, you'll want to select 'Full Transparent'.

    Be aware that you can't do QoS on a bridged interface.

    Cheers - Bob
