Category based surfing quota
We have a request about surfing quota based on a specific category or categories. Right now, this is fuction is available for the general internet but not for a specific category. For instance, we need to restrict the users for accessing to social network websites about an hour a day. After they fill one hour allowance to social networking sites, they will not be able to reach to social networking but they will be able to use their usual internet usage.
This function is available for other firewall brands and it is really necessary for some customers. I hope you…31 votesUnder Review ·

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?

HA like UTM
Clustering UTM is very easy. Now you have to assing an IP to the ***** XG and create the cluster. UTM clustering technology is the simplest one I never seen. The other thing is the DMZ zone to be used when you need to create the cluster. A dedicated zone should be available (maybe HA?). Also a second interface is missing as an alternate interface.
150 votesAgree UTM9 HA setup is the easiest in the industry, and we are planning to bring that same simplicity to XG in a future version.

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.
311 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.

Bring back Web Filter override for specific AD groups
In Sophos UTM there was an option to allow specific user groups to override a URL block under Web Filtering. This was really useful for educational environments so our teachers could bypass unintentional blocks for kids. Please bring it back! :)

Look out for a feature in an upcoming release that will allow nominated users to selectively allow users to bypass policy for specific sites. This will let teachers to set up lists of sites to allow for their students and give students an access code to be able to bypass block pages.

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.
463 votesThis feature is under consideration for a future release in 2018, though a target version is not yet set.
-
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.
639 votesThis feature is under consideration for a future release, though a target version or timeframe is not yet set.

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.
348 votesAdding DHCP options to the GUI is under consideration for a future release.

Firmware notification
XG looks like Sophos Standard. On Email Virtual Appliance, when I have a new pending firmware to install, I recieve an email saying that a new firmware is available to install and it will be installed at .... (I have automatic upgrade during the night). Inside the email, I have the link to release notes.
Please implement this feature to XG too.218 votesThis will be implemented in a future update.

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
227 votesWe will implement this, but I don’t have a target version for it just yet.

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
262 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.

Add support to USB NIC
At home USB NICs are ideal. Exactly the same problem we had in UTM9. Link below.

Enable/Disable Interface
At the moment, there is no way to disable/enable an interface inside SFOS.
Strange!Even using CLI menu.431 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.
-
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 7.287 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.

Native Microsoft Azure Site-to-Site VPN
Sophos UTM already natively supports automatic site-to-site VPN tunnels with BGP routing to AWS. I look forward to Sophos UTM supporting the same sort of site-to-site VPN tunnels with BGP to Microsoft Azure in public and private cloud deployments.
I think the easiest way for this to work would be for Sophos UTM to look at the requirements of getting the VPN itself setup (which has been documented in the forums and works), then to make BGP work on top of that, then ensure that BGP and the VPN can work between multiple private cloud and public cloud sites, then…

Web Protection: Enforce policy on Sophos Endpoints
It would be amazing to configure the Sophos Endpoint (not the UTM-provided one) to inherit the Web Filtering policy defined in the UTM.
