Web Proxy Not working

wilmcgil
I am trying to evaluate the Sophos device and I have an issue with the web proxy.

I repeatedly get these errors and nobody can reach the internet while the web filtering is enabled.

function="dns_init" file="dns.c" line="1320" message="failed to get dns ip"
2015:03:27-00:00:24 utm httpproxy[30131]: id="0003" severity="info" sys="SecureWeb" sub="http" request="(nil)" function="main" file="httpproxy.c" line="310" message="failed to initialize DNS"
2015:03:27-00:00:55 utm httpproxy[30224]: id="0003" severity="info" sys="SecureWeb" sub="http" request="(nil)" function="main" file="httpproxy.c" line="271" message="reading configuration"

2015:03:27-00:00:55 utm httpproxy[30224]: id="0003" severity="info" sys="SecureWeb" sub="http" request="(nil)" function="confd_config_filter" file="confd-client.c" line="3334" message="failed to resolve passthrough6.fw-notify.net, using 2a01:198:200:680::8080"

Any ideas?

Thanks

    I have the same issue. My reseller does not even respond to emails, so not a good reputation for SOPHOS.

    I followed the DNS best practice already but something with the DNS resolution was wrong from the very beginning. What ever I did, DNS host names were not resolved. I added then "nameserver 127.0.0.1" to resolve.conf, since then I can use DNS host names in the definitions group.

    The webfiltering still does not work because of the errors above.

    Where can I have a look into?

    thanks for guiding me
