Do you have an idea for Sophos UTM? Do you recognize a good idea when you see one? We want to hear from you!

Web Security: Time Quotas for Internet access
I have had many requests to have a policy in our Web Security section where it is possible to allocate a time quota for Internet Access. They do not want to limit when people have access to Facebook for example but how long they are allowed to visit these type of sites.

WebSecurity: Local Content Filter Database
Provide the option for the Content Filtering URL database to be downloaded/cached/stored locally.. Reduces reliance of URL Filter performance on available bandwidth, increasing response times and lookup speeds.
140 votesThe next version of our content filtering implementation in UTM 9.2 will offer a hybrid solution of on-disk and cloud-lookups to provide the best possible mix of resource usage and response times. Details to come!

Web Security: Transparent Proxy with Transparent Authentication (SSO)
There is now a transparent proxy, but to have authentication requires a manual login screen for users - which is far from transparent.
A transparent proxy with SSO is almost essential, I would say.
138 votesThis is scheduled for our UTM 9.2 release later in 2013. Stay Tuned!

Web Security: Time-Based Application Control Rules
Hi,
time based application filtering would be very nice, for example make it possible to use facebook apps at lunch time but rest of day block it104 votesThis is a candidate for an upcoming version.

Web Security: "Phrase Weighting" for Content Filtering
Add phrase weighting to the content filtration much like what is used in Dansguardian, this would much improve the current content filtration. When used right it would allow pages within an otherwise approved domain or url such as YouTube to be blocked if inappropriate content is present. As is the case with Dansguardian the aggressiveness of this type of filtering can be adjusted quite a bit.

WebSecurity: Proxies and Profiles Mapping to Additional Addresses
I would like to have the same flexibility as using SNAT in the definition of the internal networks (as I have the dozen or so) for which the public IP address by the transparent proxy is to go to the Internet.
Unfortunately Fully Transparent HTTP Proxy does not offer this functionality.

Web Protection: HTTP Connection Timeout Configuration
As some websites require content delivery by backend database servers the connection timeout between a very active server and a slow database can result in a page timeout.
By default the ASG http proxy has a value of 60 seconds before closing the connection. Currently this is only configurable to a higher value in cc, please place an option for this in the advanced tab.

Web Protection: FTPS proxy
It would be great if the current FTP proxy can support FTPS traffic

Web Protection:Force Logout of an Authenticated User
Hi..
We want to force Authenticated users to log out in there current sessions in WEB SECURITY and if we want to check out who is logged in,
In all three operation mode (Transparent with Authentication, Basic user Authentication, SSO) please.68 votes -
Web Protection: Global URL Blacklist & Whitelist For All Profiles
It would be nice if we could create for the blocking a group of URLs, which may be analogous to the block "URL Filtering Categories" in the "Filter Actions". For example, the URL's to be blocked must not enter in every profile under blacklist.

Web Protection: Instant Message (IM) Chat Logging
While researching a UTM, I came across an IM chat logger. This will be a nice feature for Sophos UTM to have so I can inspect chat sessions for company violations/data leakage.

Web Protection: Support WCCP
Customers request support of WCCP for redirecting traffic flows in real-time to an out of path appliance installed. Please add support for this.

Web Protection: Content filtering of HTTPS URLs by certificate domain
Enable the option to content filter HTTPS URLs without the full man-in-the-middle interception by doing lookups and categorization on the domains that are reported as part of the certificate exchange. While not as secure as full HTTPS interception, it would solve our problems and remove the need to do the full HTTPS roll-out procedures.

Web Protection: Terminal Server Support for Authenticated Transparent Proxy
At the moment, the Transparent proxy works by associating credentials with the IP of the "user". Unfortunately, this means that the first Person who authenticates from a Terminal server (like Citrix) authenticates all Users from this Terminal server. Can you change this to Cookie Based or something so authentication works for multiple users sharing the same "IP"?
I'm not sure how it might be accomplished, but it sure would be cool to have...

Web Security: Support definitions for Allow/Block sites
We are finding on a lot of our sites the company is deciding to block facebook/myspace. When we go into the Web Security -> HTTP/S -> Content Filter, and the Additional URL's to Block box, we can add individual sites, and use just facebook on it's own, but this doesn't pick up "fbcdn.net".
Under Network Definitions, I can put DNS Group and call it facebook, and this picks up all the facebook sites.
I'd like to be able to drag and drop from the Definitions section into the "Additional URL's" box.

Web Protection: Policy testing tool
Provide a tool whereby an Admin can supply an IP, username, URL, and time period, which then gives back the matching profile name/number/details and result (blocked or allowed, and why).. Allows administrators to test their profile configuration easily without having to do manual testing by users at their workstations, constantly logging in and out etc...just streamlines the whole process for deployment and troubleshooting.

Web Security: URL Category Check in WebAdmin
include the bottom with this link into URL Categorization tab, to reach fastly the link to offer a possible categorization for uncategorized websites. It's also a very fast way to figure out how a specific website is categorized.
33 votesWe currently plan to look at including this feature in UTM 9.2 which is scheduled for Sep/Oct 2013. Stay tuned!

custom block page - request unblock form
We would like the ability to either have greater control of the block pages i.e. fully customisable block pages or to have a form inbuilt to allow the end user to request for the site to be unblocked.
The form would prefill with the url, reason for block, username and a box for the explanation to why it should be unblocked. On submitting it would then go to the cache administrator for actioning or to a portal within utm for review
It would help increase acceptance of the system. Not all sites that fall within a blocked category necessarily warrant…

Web Security: RTSP Support / Skipping
Currently Real Time Streaming Protocol is not able to be properly handled by the proxy (such as apple.mov quicktime keynote speeches). Add a mechanism to either proxy this traffic correctly, or just skip it from the scanning to allow it to operate properly with the client.. Extends the streaming support of our proxy to avoid admins needing to remove users entirely or live with certain sites / streaming not working when the proxy is enabled. Mantis: 0009463

Reporting: Cache Statistics
To visualize the cache efficiency it would be cool to display some cache stats as cache hit and cache miss percentage, WAN bandwidth savings etc.
This would be a really cool addition to the IMO good caching algorithm in V7.500
