We are considering to replace our existing proxy server with Sophos web appliance, so in order to test the functionality I have downloaded trial version and installed on VM Workstation. currently we are using two NICs in proxy server for LAN and WAN traffic but in this appliance I don't see any option to add extra NIC for WAN traffic in web interface. can anybody guide me how can I add this?
Hi Babarmunir Munir
Please check this guide Sophos Web Appliance Virtual Appliance Setup Guide and see if it helps.

it does not help.
I am using squid proxy with two ethernets, one for LAN traffic and one for WAN internet, so my question was how can we add the second nic for WAN traffic in Sophos virtual web appliance ?
You will not be able to add another NIC after configuring the Web Appliance. You will have to do it at the time of initial setup.
thanks can you let me know at what stage during setup I can configure second NIC. I have add two vNIC but still don't see any option at bootup to add / configure 2nd NIC.
I have checked it with a senior internally and unfortunately, you will not be able to add a second NIC in the Virtual Web Appliance.
