Policy Based Routing

Hi,

I am new to Sophos UTM setup but I have been asked to set up policy based routing to route traffic on ports 80/443 through a proxy server (diagram shows required setup), don't really know where to start, any assistance would be greatly appreciated.  Sophos in question is an SG310 on firmware version 9.510-5 and is currently setup as E0 - LAN and E1 - WAN

  • Hi Brett and welcome to the UTM Community!

    You will need firewall rules allowing browsing requests from the LAN to reach CH and allowing the proxied requests from CH to "Internet IPv4."

    You definitely need a policy route to get the browsing requests to the CH unless all of the devices on the LAN are configured to use CH explicitly.  If CH doesn't masq the LAN IPs with its own IP, you will need a Policy Route for browsing responses arriving from the Internet.

    Can you provide more detail?

    Cheers - Bob

  • Hi Bob,

     

    Thanks for your Reply.

    In response to your queries, not all devices on the LAN are configured to use CH explicitly and  Ch won't masq the LAN  IPs with its own IP.

    Not sure what other detail I can provide, any suggestions as to what additional information would help.

     

    Regards

  • You're right, Brett, you will need two routes:

    Gateway Route : LAN (Network) -> {HTTP/S} -> Internet : via {CH on eth6}
    Gateway Route : Internet -> {HTTP/S responses} -> LAN (Network) : via {CH on eth7}

    Note that HTTP = 1:35565->80 and that the response is 80->1:35565

    Any luck with that?

    Cheers - Bob
