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

  • 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
