Hello! 
 In order to Sophos Firewall show a block page over encrypted (TLS) connection, It needs to (MITM) which is decrypt and re-encrypt with It own self-signed certificate authority. 
 The reason on why your browser showed a warning page was because of this, apparently there is a Web Policy which is currently blocking the link that you opened - that is a Google advertisement. 
 To solve this, either you import the certificate authority from the Sophos Firewall, or create a Web exemption for that domain - so It doesn't get blocked.

 Since you're a Home user I highly recommend you to NOT use Sophos Firewall with bridge mode, It will be much better and easier to use as your main Gateway. 
 Thanks!

Hi thank you for the quick reply. At home I have mac os x, I installed the safari certificate, everything works, but chrome and firefox have problems. I just noticed that in safari it uses the website certificate and in chrome and firefox it uses the sophos certificate. You are right, it is specified in the policies at the web section. Web policy filtering when I switch to allow everything works. I understand how it works, it's correct, it's supposed to block what I want, but I'm just wondering why it doesn't show a message from sophos despite importing it to mac os x, only a certificate error. indicates that the certificate is not trusted 
 
 Edition. I solved it, it may be useful for other people, you have to additionally indicate in the system that the certificate is trusted.
