I'm curious about something.
I was wondering if the IPS exceptions are session-based? What I mean is, if I have a rule bypassing traffic from Network A to Network B, is the returning traffic also bypassed? I ask this because, when I originally switched to Sophos UTM for my home network, in order to improve bittorrent performance, I had to create both a source and destination rule for the torrent workstation in order to fully bypass IPS and increase bandwidth utilization. Granted, this could be the nature of how the Bittorrent protocol works but I wanted to make sure I didn't need to "reverse" the traffic along with the source/destination port setups to ensure the return traffic is appropriately bypassed.
