Model:SG430; Why we are not able to open Websites on Port 8080

Hello all,


 we are using Sophos SG430 with activated Web Filtering in tranparent mode.

Now all Client cant open via the Webbrowser sites with on 8080 (for example: http://portquiz.net:8080).

The required Firwallrules were genereated and activated, also checked multiple times. 

Firewallrule looks like that: 

Resource: ClientXYZ (192.168.50.22/24) -> Service HTTP, HTTPS; 8080 -> Destination: ANY

For testing, iv'e put the ClientXYZ in the List for "Skip Transparent Mode Source Hosts/Nets"

Checkbox ist set to allow HTTPS/HTTP

  • Double check the 8080 definition that you created.

    Make sure Source port is 1024:65535 (not 8080)

    and Desitination Port 8080 TCP

    I think there is a httpproxy service definition that already exists in the UTM that you can use. After that, check the firewall log. It will tell you what is being blocked and why.

  • The Service-Definition is created correctly .

    The Logfile behavior is a little bit confusing becouse:

    If i open the destination ip via telnet on port 8080, i got a permit entry in the Logfile, but the connection couldn't established.

    If I open the destination in a Web-Browser, is nothing to see in the Logfile.

  • Hi,

    Use the websurfing service group instead of custom services defined in the firewall rule. Please check #1 in Rulz.

    Thanks

  • Hello,

    Websurfinggrooup is in use, but no bonification.

    If i try the Connection with "telnet XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX 8080", no Connection. But the Firwall Log Shows a Permit.

    If i try the Connection via Browser with URL, is there no Record in the Firewall Log.

  • Hey Richard.

    When you use transparent proxy, packets from your internal netwok going to port 80 and 443 on the internet are captured and redirected to the proxy automatically. That should not happen to port 8080.

    What you are describing seems to be a client with proxy settings pointing it to the UTM proxy. That would explain why you don't see anything on your firewall log, since the client is not really connecting to port 8080, but the proxy is, on behalf of the client. Check your Web Filtering logs, my guess is that you will see an entry about this connection there.

    Now, if your telnet is not working and your firewall rule is right, which it appears to be, you might have a routing issue or another firewall between your UTM and the internet blocking this connection. I've seem some cheap ADSL modems blocking packets that it should not. Plug a notebook to your modem and run that telnet again. If it works, then there's something wrong with your firewall rules. I would start with disabling IPS and running some tests, if that's the case.

  • Hi, Richard, and welcome to the UTM Community!

    What happens if you uncheck 'Automatically detect settings' in LAN Settings in your browser?

    Cheers - Bob
