    Hi Isaac,

    Greetings.

    Sophos XG has no option such as transparent mode, this option is with Sophos UTM 9. 

    Please provide us some more information on your requirement. 

    Thanks

    Hi Sachin

    Thank you for your reply on the UTM-9 and its support on transparent mode.

    I have a customer with a managed cisco router connected to the service provider from their LAN. Because the router is owned and provided by the SP, we do not intend to remove or replace with the sophos UTM acting as a GW/FW. Hence is to insert the Sophos UTM in between the cisco router and their LAN. However, to do that, it would has to be in transparent mode. My question is when on transparent mode , will I still be able to allow mobile user or VPN client to dial into the Sophos UTM (when or if it can be) set up as a VPN server for the dial in client.

    Hi Isaac,

    Greetings.

    Yes, you can allow VPN client to dial to Sophos UTM when it is in Transparent mode. You need to Port forward the services to UTM from Cisco Router. 

    Thanks

    Thank you Sachin

    So to set up a VPN dial in services on the UTM ( transparent mode )  for the internal LAN, I have to configured a port forwarding on the router. The VPN services shall be typically set up on the UTM and will service the remote client with prescribed IP range.
