Hello guys,

I am completely on Sophos products and firewall themes.

I am getting continously this error from our sophos firewall. 

I have two question here.

1- virus_sample_uploader is trusty ?

2- Why am I getting continously "DNS server failed to contact error " log?

Is there anyone who can help me?

Best regards,

Hasan

  • Could it be about firewall software update? Because we get it continously. if it is relevant with the firewall link up/down process then would it be gone in the night or public holidays? The frequent would be also importantly changed. How can I manuel trigg to update it? Then we may have a chance to update process is working correctly.
