How to Deny Direct IP access from browser ?

Hi,

you need to be using the web proxy with a deny IP address policy. There are policies setup, you just need to select it for your web proxy. You will probably need to install the XG CA on the offending devices. Depends on what other features in the web proxy setting you choose to use, if none you use DPI (SSL/TLS).

I would also suggest you read this article.

Hi rfcat_vk 

Thanks for your advice. But I'm didn't get it yet.

Currently I have deploy SSL Sectigo CA in Sophos Firewall. And then, what's next ?
Could you share to me step by step guidance to set up web proxy in Sophos?

Sophos firewall is protecting our server farm. I want to deny incoming access from outside, if it using direct IP xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx .

Hi,

that is totally different to what you asked. You never mentioned servers or incoming traffic.

Hi,

My bad. Any suggestion for my scenario ?

Hi,

you can’t, how else would the network locate your firewall?

Hi,

I tried once using virtual host configuration in our server. Actually It's worked.

But unfortunately, domain-name access became failed due to DNS (we use Cloudflare) unable to read SSL certificate in our server.

Therefore, I'm looking different way to do that from Firewall side.

If you're looking to protect an internal webserver from being accessed by IP-address then you can use the Web Application Firewall. You can find it under Protect -> Webserver. This will allow you to determine which URLs are being passed to which internal servers.

Hi,

I have existing WAF Rules as below.

Any advice how to set up as what I need ?
