  1. Allow renaming of Network Interface eth0 on virtual appliance

    Currently (i.e v9.004-34) on a virtual UTM, the interface does not allow you to rename the Eth0 network interface from "Internal".

    I have been informed by support that this is not a bug - even though it does not do this on any of the physical appliances that we have.

    I don't know why you would have made a design change like this but please can you restore the ability to rename the eth0 Network Interface because it is not helpful when you have an interface named "Internal" when it is your public internet interface!!!

    Thanks.

      Ability to allow applications without a packet filter rule. Would be nice - at the moment you have to to set up a packet filter rule even if you have a Application Control rule that accepts the usage of a specific application.The current behaviour makes no sense for me.

      • Linux Endpoint Protection Client

        Sophos Antivirus supports multiple Linux distributions. I recommend adding this client to the UTM Endpoint list so we can protect, manage and monitor security on our Linux servers and desktops

        • AP-50 Option to push client to 5GHz

          It would be a nice option for the AP-50 to push clients to 5 GHz if they support it, before using 2.4 GHz.

          • multilink VPN

            If multiple internet uplinks are available, the VPN tunnel works only with one of them. The idea now is to use all internet uplinks for one VPN tunnel. The intrasite connection between the two UTM's speeds up and if one ISP goes down you have a failover without an interrupt.

            • AstaroOS: One touch upgrades for software appliances

              At the moment you have to do a full reinstall from ISO on software appliances when a new major version (like UTM 9) comes out. This means you loose all your logs, reporting data, quarantine mails, etc.
              Though I understand the problems with unknown or unsupported hardware in new versions It would be great to have the same one-touch experience like hardware appliance users.

              Offer a "real" one-touch upgrade as on hardware appliances and warn the user that this process is on his own risk. If it fails because of the hardware he can still do a fresh ISO-install.

              • OSPF and Route Summarisation

                Inter-area route summarisation is should be possible on the firewall when acting as an ABR. Currently this feature does not seem to be available.

                I have a number of firewalls connected to area 0 and one interface on each is connected to a different area (1, 2, etc) on other each of these. All the IP addresses in area's 1, 2. etc are summerisable (each to a /19). Currently all the individual ranges are passed into area 0 (there are multiple /30's and /27's, etc in the areas behind the firewalls), where the /19's would be sufficient pointing to the…

                  • Use DHCP Static Entries in Wireless Client List

                    Right now if you create a static DHCP reservation and its a wireless client, you have to create a new wireless client entry to get a 'vanity' name on that client. It would prefer to just pick up on the DHCP static entry name and carry it over.

                      We do with our previous solution every Friday afternoon a full scan of all local drives on the PC's and servers.

                      This scan can be moved by certain definable users up to 3 times on a different day or skipped entirely.

                      When the scan is skipped 3 times the next time he is done without the user can stop the scan.

                      The whole thing, the administrator of the configuration settings centrally regulated.

                      These possibilities we would have liked in the UTM.
                      Sophos will include that in the Endpoint Protection?

                      • Hotspot: Timelimit for vouchers and logging for hotspot users

                        It would be very nice to set a expiration date or time for vouchers.
                        If a user get a voucher for 5h or so, this user can use this voucher every time, till the surfing-time expire. So, it could be a security problem.

                        The easiest way to realize it quick and dirty is, to set a global time (1-7 days) and after this time the voucher is marked as "disabled".

                        Also it would be great to log the user webbrowsings in the webproxy for example with a voucher-id (voucher code abcdef gets the voucher-id 1, voucher code ghijk gets the…

                        • Networking: Ability to bind IP subnets to multiple interfaces

                          Currently it is only possible to apply IP subnets to a single interface. If there are for example multiple interfaces connected to the internal network and OSPF is used for routing, an IP subnet could be reachable from any of these interfaces. Within the network definitions, only one interface can be defined for spoofing.

                              • Provide live monitoring of QoS rules affecting traffic flow

                                It can be difficult to tune the QoS rules effectively unless there is greater visibility on how they are influencing traffic. The live traffic monitor is very handy, and it would be even better if we knew how the QoS rules we put in place are actually operating on the live connections. Perhaps give us the ability to monitor bandwidth, shaping and throttling on a per QoS rule basis.

                                This is more of an issue with highly contended SOHO & Mum/Dad ADSL internet connections, where throughput guarantees are not applicable when compared to genuine business class internet connections, but it…

                                  • Networking: Control IPSec VPN Route Orders

                                    Please add Support for route based vpn so you can prefer the BGP route first followed by the IPSec route if your BGP route is not available.

                                    • User Portal: Configure listening on more than one interface

                                      Current access to the user portal can be configured either to specific interface and port or to all interfaces for a given port. I have a number of external public ip addresses, several of which already use port 443 for https. I could like to configure the user portal so users can connect to it (on port 443) using the internal interface and using one of the external interfaces (also on port 443) for when they are out of the office. Currrently there does not seem to be a way to do this, since I cannot use the "Any" interface…

                                      • Web Protection: Voucher/Time-Based Exceptions

                                        Web Protection: Voucher/Time-Based Exceptions.
                                        Please add the functionality to create exception rules in the Web-Protection with voucher-function and e-mail like quarantine-e-mail notification or user-portal notification to inform the user by provisioning the "exception-ticket" . After this, the user receives an e-mail with voucher information and can unlock his session if he wants and can use the excepted services for his fixed/scheduled time. Very often we need to create exception rules (DropBox-Services or RemoteAccess and so on...) for a few hours or days. The user needs the possibility to activate the tickets when he wants.

                                        Now we don't be allowed to…

                                        • Save Button for Changes

                                          Changes in the GUI shouldn't be active immediately. There must be a save button to activate changes. It is very important to prevent mistakes and you can change several setting and activate all at the same time to not lose the connection.
