Unable to contact URL categorization service

Andy Smith

First time in over 2 years that I've seen this issue. None of our 3 proxy servers are able to connect to the URL categorization service.

 

Unlikely to be an internal issue as all other connectivity is fine. Is this a Sophos outage and is anyone else experiencing it?

    SophosSupport just replied to me on Twitter saying there are no remaining issues, open a case if still having problems. Have referenced this article to them. A bit like Sophos saying yesterday they were not aware of any issues, 1 hour after this forum was already busy with multiple reports.

    Has anyone on this thread had the continued alerts investigated and resolved by Sophos, the same as reported by Gavin above with tests passing but appliances still firing through alerts?

    Hi All, We have seen some appliances continue to send alerts even though the categorization (and connection test) are now working successfully. A reboot of the appliance should clear this, however if this does not work for you, or a reboot is not practical, then contact Sophos Support as they do now have a process to reset the alerting via the Support Access tunnel.
