    Hi Louis,

    Greetings.

    Sophos UTM 9 does not support GRE as of now. This feature is included in the upcoming release, code-named Project Copernicus. This is not yet exposed in the GUI, but can be configured from a CLI if needed. In UTM 9 the alternative solution is using RED.

    Thanks,

      Louis, each time a client has asked me to configure a GRE tunnel,  discussion with the other party revealed that they could do a regular IPsec tunnel.  The first time that that happened with AT&T, it took weeks. The second time, just a day.

      Cheers - Bob

        Yep, I know they can do an IPsec tunnel but they are stubborn and won't. The rest of their customers end up using a GRE tunnel so they won't bend for us.

        We currently have ASA 5510's in there with GRE tunnels but we're looking to replace them shortly as they are approaching end of life. The UTM's are ideal for this.

        It's good to know it can do a GRE and ithere are plans to expose it in the GUI. For me, I think Sophos are on to a winner if they can generally do what an ASA does as the ASA's are the standard and getting people to move from them could prove difficult if there's a lot of difference in capability.

        At the moment, we have gained a lot from switching from a 2x ASA 5510 to 2x UTM SG310 but I know the GRE question will come into it shortly as we look at the next purchase. Hopefully it's not too long in the offing.

        Is there a current list of what is included in the upcoming releases etc?
