A month ago I switched from a Pfsense Untangled configuration to Sophos. I wish I made the switch sooner. I have a desire to implement ad blocking similar to untangled, but at the moment this is not a top priority. I have had to unfortunately disable the Web Filtering for the android’s, ipads, Wii, and Samsung refrigerator with built in wifi for these devices to work.
There are so many issues I don't even know where to start. I am the IT person for a few companies and would love to implement Sophos at those sites. I am using my home network as my test bed, but I also need to keep my wife happy. All of the following issues are resolved if Web Filtering is disabled. The only thread I have found which matches one of my problems is about Netflix.
My wife's Samsung phone and tablet upon connecting to my new AP say unstable connection and refuses to connect. If I play with the settings on the Samsung devices I can get it to connect but surfing the internet is ridiculously slow. Every app that connects to the internet that is not a browser ie. facebook, speedtest, Ping DNS, yelp, urbanspoon, Google play, Netflix…. there are so many more [:(] never load or give network connection error.
On my phone running cyanogenmod I have a bit more luck, but I still have many of the same issues. My browser is not slow however most of the apps are broken.
Windows 7 and 8.1 works completely fine. Well you know what I mean. They have their own unrated issues.
The Netflix fix that I found requires a exception rule specific to Netflix, and this has me worried. If I need to add an exception rule for each app this solution won’t work. Since I am having this much difficulty and new to Sophos I think I must have a setting wrong somewhere.
