Is this by design?

Do I need to allow traffic?

  • Hi,

    there appears to be a network issue possibly with your WAN interface NIC. Normally a firewall rule is not required for access to the up2date servers because the connections are all done outside (WAN) to the user firewall configuration.

  • A search here for the domain hydra.sophos.com indicates it is some form of Sophos mail gateway server. An online ping and tracert reveals nothing, but a DNS lookup shows it resolves to an AWS domain. It might be on a blacklist....based on other posts here in the forums.

    According to what the log says: "invalid TCP state", you posted about this in another thread one year ago and Lucar Toni replied....

    Invalid TCP  state is sometimes asymmetrical routing. Means the packet arrives from a different interface, as the firewall expect. If the old firewall was a different IP address, the routing is messed up in some installations. 

  • Hi,
    the workstation on LAN can make connection to the secure website

  • Hello there,

    Thank you for contacting the Sophos Community.

    Do you have Sophos Endpoint installed in your computer, and or is the Firewall registered to Central?

    Regards,

  • The first question is: Do you have any kind of problems within your network? Or is this just a "question". 

    Because i am always disabling the Invalid Traffic logging. It is not useful to me.
