Firewall fails to block an established UDP connection...

GreatByte
Hello Guys,

I am have a weird situation here. I have a PC communicating with a server, both connected to my Sophos Firewall (Firmware: 9.100-16 - not an appliance).

I have a Rule that allows this connection, and it works. Without that Rule, the connection cannot be established. So far so good.
Once established, however, the communication continues even if I disable that rule, or add a rule above it to block that connection. [:S]
It just keeps on working and there doesnt seem to be a way to block it if I wanted to...

I tried it using a PC connected via the Internet and I can even disable the DNat Rule and the connection still continues. Only new connections are being blocked. Is this an expected behavior? Doesnt seem right to me.

    I am afraid to say but it appears that this bug has reappeared: Mantis ID 27685.

    I use time based rules and they no longer block established connections when the time period is reached.  

    Is anyone else seeing this behavior again besides me?  I am on version: 9.305-4

    Thanks,

    Bob B
