Restricting/Controlling WAN Access

Hello, with the XG firewall, is there a way to restrict certain PC's on the network to access to the outside. I don't want to integrate AD and have users have another login to gain access to the outside but rather I'd like to restrict the shop floor PC's to certain outside access, is this possible based on just the PC name, or group I put the selected PC's into. I'm hoping this can be seamless solution if possible because staff already have something to say because I'm very restrictive when it comes to browsing/services overall currently.

Thank you in advance.

Hi SophosNewby

Sophos XG firewall content filtering could be applied on Firewall Rule, You can create firewall rule with IP address or MAC address.

You can also enable authentication for user or group base selection, Using a PC name is not possible.

Thank you, I will look into the Mac address assignment, I did not know that was available to perform firewall rules on.

Hi SophosNewby

Please refer to the article- https://community.sophos.com/kb/en-us/123072

Note: MAC-based internet filtering works only when the network nodes are directly connected to Sophos Firewall. In network scenarios where the nodes are connected via a firewall, router or a layer 3 switch, User-MAC binding must be enabled. For details, please refer to the article in the related information section below.
