External IP shows as internal DMZ IP when using "Remote_Host" HTTP variable

As per the subject really

On my old FW (not Sophos) I used to allow access to pages internally (to our network) by checking the remote host http variable. This would give the users external (in the case of an external IP) or the internal (192.168.0.x) of an internal user. So I could lock out pages to external users

With Sophos UTM9 installed the remote_host is always shown as the DMZ IP address - 192.168.1.1. Therefore my apparantly secure pages are now visible externally

Is there a way to make this work as it used to? I can't see that NATing will help me in anyway

  • I can also confirm I am now seeing the external originating IP address of the sender. Goooooooood!

    So the question really just remains about that Full NAT. Is that okay or is something wrong with it?

     

    I also now realise my original question to you was a load of rubbish! All my NATs are dealing with email, and none of them for the web! How stupid can I be?!

    Bearing in mind I do *not* have Web Filtering turned on, what NATs would I need so that my web server would see the originating brower's IP address. I am using the X-FORWARDED-FOR header as a filter, but it would nicer if I could really see the originating address instead of using that header

  • I have also noticed that the only firewall rules I have for the DMZ (where the web and email server is located) are

    Orange Network -> Web Surfing -> Any

    Orange Network -> DNS -> Any

    There's nothing for email! But email works!?

     

    On Green (where my users are)

    Green Network -> Any -> Any
