Hi,
BACKGROUND...
I have a problem. I have 'upgraded' from a Cyberoam appliance to the Sophos XG Home running on a spare PC. The PC has an i5 CPU, 6Gb ballistix RAM & two Intel Gigabit NIC's. It far exceeds the specs that are recommended.
PROBLEM...
Anyway, the problem is that I discovered that I was getting very slow throughput between the LAN & the WAN. I am getting about 55Mb down and 18Mb upload on my ISP's Router but only around 15Mb in each direction with the Sophos XG box in series.
I spent many hours looking through support forums & Googling before I tried setting a catch-all rule (Placed at the top) in the firewall that was set as Source: LAN, Destination: WAN, MASQ: On.
I tested again and got the full throughput.
Then I started trying the different options for AV scanning and IPS policies. Nothing changed as far as throughput is concerned.
Then I attached the rule to a specific computer (Match known users / Users or Groups)... The throughput dropped to the slower speeds. I tried selecting Any user, same result. Turned off the Match Known Users and got the full throughput again.
I have checked all of the options in the UI relating to Users and Groups but I can't find anything that should cause the slow throughput like that.
SOLUTION???
Any suggestions on what might be causing the problem or how to fix it welcomed?????
