What is going on with WAF on XG?

EDIT: Problem solved. You cant limit anyhow Source for specific country without problems on SophosXG - my problem was NAT, if you'll setup NAT then such source will be excluded from any malware scanning, logging etc. We must wait 'till Sophos Team will improve security  in that matter Slight smile

Hello.

Ive got simple scenerio where im hosting Synology Drive App for HOME purposes - its hidden behind WAF of SophosXG. Weird things happen.

1. AV is turned on but test malware files are passing thru

2. no logs from my own country in which im trying to access(From Poland)

Screenshots below are showing how i have setup WAF and NAT policy, and as soon as i am creating NAT rule for external access there is no logs anymore...

NAT:

WAF:


cd..

Protection server policy: 1/2



2/2

  • It is actually quite simple: 

    WAF is a service. NAT will always hit before a service. 

    So if you configure a NAT rule, it will bypass the WAF as a service.

    So if you only want to offer a WAF as a service for a particular country, you need to Blackhole via NAT all countries you do not want to have. So simply create a rule with all countries (groups) and do not include Germany/Poland. 

    This principle (NAT before Service) is most likely a standard.

  • Maybe it is a misunderstanding on your side: you do not need NAT to „make WAF work“.
