Sophos UTM Home Edition - Am I doing something wrong?

Court Hubbard

Yesterday I decided to try out the free UTM Home Edition on a spare PC I have. I have everything set up the way I want it, except I am having trouble establishing a connection to my other devices. My setup is as follows:

 

Sophos UTM Home Edition on spare PC with 2 NICS.

1st NIC eth0 (internal LAN 192.168.1.1/24) – cable from NIC connected to Linksys 8 port switch

2nd NIC eth1 (external WAN) – Fiber connection from ISP

Linksys 8 port switch then connects to my main PC as well as Xbox, PS4, etc.

 

I have set up DHCP on the internal LAN from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.254 and it correctly assigns my main PC 192.168.1.100, but there is no connection. The icon in system tray shows yellow exclamation. Have tried ipconfig /release & renew, power cycling all devices, etc to no avail. I’m not quite sure what the problem is, but I'm guessing it’s probably how I have something connected or configured so that is why I am reaching out for support. Any help is greatly appreciated as I would like to use this great free product from Sophos. Thanks!

    Did you setup a Masquerading Rule to NAT traffic from your Internal network to your External network?

    And did you also create a Firewall rule to allow traffic from your Internal network to the Internet on the ports you desire? Don't forget all traffic is blocked by default.

    Hey, thanks for the quick reply! Turns out when I installed the image to my spare computer I forgot to check the box next to enable DNS. I went back and did this and now the Internet works fine on most of my connected devices. With that being said, does anyone have a good guide on how to set up rules to allow programs such as Steam, Origin, Battle.net, etc through fairly easily? Also, any help with Xbox and PS4 as well is greatly appreciated. I'm new to this whole UTM thing, but I can see the benefits that it provides if I can get it set up correctly. Thanks!
