XG complicated and confusing

logan517

Hi,

 

the last 5 years i've using the UTM as a virtual appliance at home with the home use license -> max. 50 ip's
And since every device has an ip, the problem is the limitation with the 50 maximum ip's

So i've to switch from utm to xg but that is harder than expected.

I think the web interface is very complicated and confusing.
Some functions are strange. e.g. why do i've to assign an ip to an interface, that has only sub-interfaces with vlan? (keyword native-vlan => /dev/null)

Why do I have to specify a source, destination zone AND source, destination ip for each firewall rule
Or why the hell i can't delete the default zones? I don't need DMZ and i'm a person who want it clean and get rid of stuff that is not necessary.

I have somehow the strange feeling of an Apple product and not a firewall for experienced system admins
Firewall ON / OFF

My first impression tells me that the XG is still in the aplha stadium.

 

I can not be the only "old" UTM user who does not like the XG yet.

Please tell me your experiences. Possibly. it is only up to me, since I'm used to the old webinterface.

 

Regards
Tobias

    A bit off-topic.

    Really? Could you please tell me why customers should switch from SSL VPN to Sophos Connect when this great product can't work with MS Active Directory user groups? Please tell me why? When this product does not have the basic elementary functions offered by other solutions! And in which year will Sophos Connect support the SSL VPN protocol?

    This is the answer everyone got on reddit about the current VPN client issues.

     

    Hi There,

    Our team is planning to support user groups for Sophos Connect IPsec client in XG v18.5, Further, Sophos Connect will also add support for SSL VPN, and will remove the burden on users needing to self-install. These changes, once in place, will be communicated through our Social media platforms and under EAP programs.
