XG Firewall
Suggest, discuss, and vote on new ideas for Sophos XG Firewall. The next thing in next-gen.
-
XG as NTP Server
NTP Server is a small package and UTM9 has it. In some small organization, having a central NTP server is a nice feature.
Can you add it into future release?You can put it inside device access, denying WAN from using NTP server for security reason.
480 votesThis feature is under consideration for a future release, though a target version or timeframe is not yet set.

Improve Logging
At the moment understand what's going on is very HARD. Live logs are missing and notepad on every section is missing.
Add live log and allow admins to configure itself coloured live logs (globally or on single windows?). In this way logs have different level of importance and Admins can better understand if they need to worry about or not. For example allows Admins to set red for high-risk/denied traffic/system error, yellow for warning/natted/or whatever and so on.
I really love the live log on Firewall section of UTM9 where reading what's happen is very very easy.370 votesLive logging in a popout window, and with color coded log lines, was released in v16. Further enhancements, such as a historical logs, a unified log viewer, and improvement of the contents within the logs is planned for v17.
-
Change SSL VPN Port
Right now it is not possible to change the SSL VPN Port by GUI. Port 8443 is used by default. Please add the possibility to change, because Port 8443 is not allowed in many networks.
362 votesThis feature is a high priority to include after v17 is released, though that release is not yet committed.
-
Let's Encrypt Integration
It would be very nice if Let's Encrypt certificates (letsencrypt.org) can be generated directly from the XG Gui. So that the "Let's Encrypt Client" is integrated in the XG. Would it be possible?

Can we have live Bandwidth speeds for Interfaces?
It would be great to be able to see live Bandwidth speed stats for each Interface like we had on UTM.
351 votesThis feature is under consideration for a future release in 2018, though a target version is not yet set.
-
Enable/Disable Interface
At the moment, there is no way to disable/enable an interface inside SFOS.
Strange!Even using CLI menu.346 votesThis is a high priority feature, and will likely be targeted as soon as possible after v17 ships, though it is not yet committed to a release.
-
Rename/Comment Physical Interface objects
It should be allowed to change the name of Physical Interface objects from default PORTx name to custom one.
Also, comment attribute/field should be added for additional description (like it was available in UTM9).345 votesThis is being implemented as part of a larger project, which makes some under-the-hood improvements to configuration handling, which is why this has not been implemented sooner.

Scheduled Installation of the AV Updates and Frimware Installation.
Scheduled Installation of the AV Updates and Firmware Installation is required. The firmware updates and AV Updates should get automatically downloaded over the WAN interfaces, however installation of this updates should be done only when the Date and time is scheduled by the Network Administrator.
In addition to the available scheduling options, the custom category should be added, where in the administrators can select a custom date and custom time, after selecting the custom date and custom time the system should prompt if these settings are just to be executed once, daily, weekly, every 15 days or monthly.

Allow Configuration of DHCP Options
UTM 9 had great DHCP options that you could assing globally or to an individual pool. For people with VoIP deployments this is Huge.
270 votesAdding DHCP options to the GUI is under consideration for a future release.
-
Notification Rules
At the moment no way to customize notification. I receive mail when the WAN gateway is down/up.
You need to provide us a way to create rules where we can decide when receive notification, alert level (warning, information, critical),who will receive the notification. As soon you integrate SMS, please also allow us to receive SMS (it is an old way) but when the mail does not work....
I would suggest you to create a panel as the Network Policy Rule rule to manage notification rules.265 votes -
Add support to USB NIC
At home USB NICs are ideal. Exactly the same problem we had in UTM9. Link below.

Username of Admin should be chagable
Currently, the WebAdmin Master-User is fix named as admin. It would be great, if we would have the possibility to change the username. This would be an improvement for brute-force attacks, when the WebGUI is somehow published to the Internet.
254 votesThis is being considered. The current intention is to add a superadmin role, making the default admin account just a member of that role.
This will allow you to create new superadmin accounts, capable of logging into the shell, adding ssh keys, and any other features limited currently to the named admin account.
Second, you will be able to disable or demote the named admin account.
-
Sophos VPN app for mobile platforms
Sophos should develop an own VPN app for mobile operating systems (iOS / Android / Windows Phone) which can connect via the UTM using the configuration pushed from the UTM to the SMC server.
It should also support the Per-App-VPN feature which was introduced in iOS 7.241 votesThis feature is considered a high priority, and is under consideration for a future release, though a target version or timeframe is not yet set.

Rename objects
Add support to rename Policy rules name, IPSEC and SSL VPN tunnels name, Webfilter Policy and Category objects, Application Policy and Category objects, QOS rules and all other items.
This will Improve the management, it must be default to all objects. Currently to fix a simple typo error, we must to create a new policy or category and populate all items again. A simple task can turn into a hard task.Best regards,
Carlos
214 votesThis will be implemented in a future release. It is being included as part of a larger project, to generally improve configuration capabilities across the product. Version for release is not yet confirmed.

Allow interface port to be configured with just vlans
As it is right now you must assign an ip address to an interface and then add vlans. doesn't allow you to just assign vlans.

default source port when adding new services to "1:65535"
Would be nice if the source port was already pre-populated like it was in UTM9
197 votesWe will implement this, but I don’t have a target version for it just yet.
-
Add support to choose both protocols (TCP/UDP) in Service object
Currently we have to create a separated rule to each protocoal TCP/UDP.
Best regards,
Carlos
195 votesWe are currently implementing object based forwarding rules, for inclusion in v17
