Single nic for just Web Proxy setup

I know I need 2 nics for the firewall but can I still use a single nic setup for just the web proxy?  I have Sophos in a Hyper-V vm and the 2nd virtual NIC is just not connected as my PC only has 1 physical nic..  Running sophos UTM with 1 nic forces it into failsafe mode.

Also, can anyone show me where the documentation is for setting up the client to authenticate to Sophos is.  I downloaded / installed the client authentication client for windows onto my Windows 10 PC and after installing it / rebooting the PC, I am not seeing any connections on the server.  Also, I'm  a little confused on why there seems to be 2 packages for the client, The 'MSI' and the 'Download for windows'.  The admin guide doesn't explain it in detail.  I'm guessing the MSI is for mass deployments but why make 2 packages?

Download for Windows - Enables Users using Windows Operating System to logon to the Device to access network resources and the Internet as per the policies configured in the Device

Download MSI Enables Admins to install authentication clients via Microsoft Installer to multiple user devices to access network resources and the Internet as per the policies configured in the Device.

Do I need to configure my client's IE settings to use a proxy server manually?  Would I need to install the client package for any reason if I only wanted to use the web proxy?

Thanks!

  • ok, I have setup the windows client on my Windows 10 OS and was able to use an account that I did not create in Sophos. The client doesn't produce any errors nor can I find any logs to see how the client is working. Are there any client logs?

    In addition, I setup the server as you mentioned and I even have a Deny all traffic policy as the #1 rule yet I still can access the internet and the server is not showing any connected users. Would it helped if I exported the config settings?

    Port A
    Network Zone LAN
    Static IP

    Port B
    Network Zone WAN
    Static IP
    Gateway Name: DHCP_PortB_GW
    Gateway: 192.168.1.1

    I'll try swapping Port A to WAN and see if that does anything but I don't think so.


    Any thoughts? Thanks!
