Sophos UTM 9 - Support/Advanced/Lan Connections - not accurrate

The lan connections tab does not appear to be showing all information.  I see a lot of information that appears to be accurate, but some things are missing.  To test things I have made 4 different remote desktop connections to servers outside my office.  None of those connections show up in the list.  I join a Minecraft server but the connection still doesn't show up.  

I can see the connections in the firewall logs, but I'm concerned that I'm not getting an accurate overview of my live connections.  

Am I missing something?  Or does the Lan Connections tab not give the info I'm looking for?

Thanks

  • I think you only see connections from/to firewall.

    PacketFilter connections are permitted or forbitten, but not cennected to the FW.

    Within my devices i see Webadmin connections, LDAP from FW to LDAP servers and proxy-connections.

    All these are terminalted/initiated by the firewall.

  • Upon closer inspection of the traffic it's actually only really showing me connections on ports 80 and 443.  I'm not seeing anything on any other port. 

    So I have to ask - is there a way for me to see all live connections coming in (being forwarded to something internal) and connections going out (to everything on every port number)?

  • not on per packet basis ... i think.

    You will see the traffic per session. But not the amount of traffic.
    To check all traffic you may capture the traffic (tcpdump at NetScaler or switch-port mirroring) or you use netflow/ IPFIX .

  • Many years ago, member Goldy posted the following:

    Concurrent Connections:
    # sysctl -w net.ipv4.netfilter.ip_conntrack_tcp_timeout_established=86400

    number of established connections:
    # less /proc/net/ip_conntrack | grep ESTA | wc -l

    number of all connections:
    # less /proc/net/ip_conntrack | wc -l

    number of connections with status WAIT (close_wait):
    # less /proc/net/ip_conntrack | grep WAIT | wc -l
