XGFW interferes with certain SSL website connections.

FoW

web browser: Chrome or Edge Dev or Firefox

target: https://www.ff14.co.kr/

result: ERR_CONNECTION_CLOSED

 


When I turn on the DPI engine, I can access the website. But when I turn the web filter off or on, I can't access it.

Packet dump and conntrack is assured for destination site.

    I would like to thank you for the super informative video. I got everything I needed from it.


    First attempt:
    You have a firewall rule that is LAN to WAN, ANY service. So port 80 and 443 traffic match it and the firewall lets it through.
    You start at the HTTP website. Everything is good. The firewall let you through.
    Then you click on an HTTPS hyperlink. The SSL/TLS inspection rules now take affect. You don't show them so now I have to guess.
    I think: Right now it is decrypting the TLS traffic. You get an error in the browser and in the game, related to the fact that is decrypting and your computer does not trust the CA.

    Second attempt:
    You change the configuration to set Web Policy to Allow All. Because you are using DPI mode, snort is still responsible for port 80 and 443 traffic. The SSL/TLS rules still apply.
    You attempt again, same result because again the TLS rule says to decrypt and your browser/game does not like it.

    Third attempt:
    You change the configuration to enable "use Web proxy instead of DPI". Now the traditional web proxy (awarrenhttp) is responsible for 80/443 traffic. It does not use the SSL/TLS inspection rules to determine what to decrypt, it uses the firewall rule "Decrypt HTTPS when running in web proxy".
    You attempt again, this time the web proxy does not decrypt your traffic (because your firewall rule tells it not to). Everything works.

    So to resolve, go to Rules and Policies, SSL/TLS Inspection Rules. If you don't want to do any SSL decryption then create a new rule that is LAN to WAN service Any "Do not decrypt".
    Or you should be able to resolve by installing the XG's Certificate Authority onto the box.

    The only odd thing is that the browser should have given you a warning about an untrusted certificate instead of ERR_CONNECTION_CLOSED. This just might be your local config or browser.

    If the client accesses the ff14.co.kr SSL webpage, the response is normal. 

    Unfortunately, all computers under XGFW show the same phenomenon, and if they go out of XGFW's network, they communicate normally. There is no SSL decrypt configuration in the environment of the first attempt. Only NAT is configured.

    I have confirmed that the same phenomenon is reproduced in other XGFW EAP.

    Can you post a screenshot of your SSL/TLS rules, and of the specific rule that turns off decryption for this traffic.

    Can you reproduce the problem and then tell me what is in log viewer, SSL/TLS inspection and in Web Filter log.

    I tried accessing that page and ended up with a insecure site warning in Safari. I am using SSL/TLS DPI only.

    Even with decryption disabled, this site doesn't come up as "secure" in a modern browser, so I'm not very surprised the TLS inspection doesn't like it either and blocks the site. Whenever you open this page, look at the first error it throws:   Looks familiar!?

    Accessing this page is hit or miss for me, mostly just seeing errors:

     

    log_type="SSL"

    log_component="SSL"

    log_subtype="Error"

    rule_name="Exclusions by website or category"

    profile_name="Maximum compatibility"

    bitmask=""

    key_type="KEY_TYPE__UNKNOWN"

    sni="www.ff14.co.kr"

    tls_version="Unknown"

    I tried to connect to a PC outside of XGFW, but this error does not reproduce in the console of my web browser. Do I need to activate something option? I'm not an expert in this area. Please give me a hint.

    On the other communication path except XGFW v18 well connected to the latest web browser, but are the cause of the problem is an incorrect TLS configuration of the ff14.co.kr website?

    Interesting. I tested some more, and yes the page comes up clean if TLS decryption is completely disabled. So it does seem like the XG is somehow interfering and messing up the connection to this page. I tried all the other settings like TLS 1.3->TLS 1.2, compression etc. but none of them mattered. Only turning TLS inspection off entirely does the trick here. So I guess your only option to leave it off for now and investigate further with the Sophos Support guys on the forums here.

    So many thanks.

    I will be wait for feedback from Sophos with a joyful heart. [H]
