This is the first time I've observed anything like this with the 3+ years I've been a Sophos XG home user. I upgraded to the latest build 222 about 15 days ago, so my run time has been about 15 days. Over the past several days I've noticed some weird…

Hello colleague, I have an issue with a virtual machine on Proxmox. My "local-lvm" is growing from the initial 6GB until it runs out of space, causing Sophos XG to stop working. I've cleared the Sophos XG report in the terminal, but it hasn't helped.…

I've seen similar topics here, but none seem to quite work. XG Home VM, v20, with a pretty minimal ruleset. I'm really the only person on my home network. At some random times the VM will go to 90-100% CPU usage and stay there. This has happened at 2…

Hello there, this might no the typical hardware seizing question, but I would liek more to see how I can stress my hardware to see if it is capable. From what I read IPS needs to be activated, and TLS intercept. What else? Background: I am currently…
