Sophos UTM no longer supports CFFS for web categorization

With this release, all online web categorizations will use Sophos XL Categorisation (SXL). This has been the default method since version 9.3 - released nearly 10 years ago - so this change will impact very few devices.

We recommend you upgrade to this release to benefit from this change.

For more information, see Decommissioning of obsolete URL categorization services (CFFS) on 1 September 2023.
