Great intro video. XG sure is a mixed bag. Sad to hear they are making the UTM end of life in a few years. I wish creating static IPs was easier. This product must be a nightmare for admins to use, the flow is horrible between creating static IPs and MAC hosts compared to the UTM.

Thank you sir for this intensive introduction to Sophos. Please, what should I do when any system connected to my network is not controlled by the rules of the firewall. Initially, I will have to add the Mac address of the system and then asign the level of internet access. But right now it is no longer functioning.
Please, I need your support.
Thanks

in case anyone else has this issue,
port 8090 is a login screen also, but it doesn't respond to admin / admin, you have to use 4444, so there is 3 www server ports apparently.

Thank you for the videos, i am setting up the Sophos XG home routers for family members and the Sophos instructions are out of date and was floundering . It did not help that i have been deploying Kerio Control routers for my clients for 8 years so had to get out of my standard way of thinking and figure this out.

I have XG86 device. However there is no Port1 on the Interface. Only Guest, Port2 and br0. How can I add Port1?

Hi, how to change Sophos home Dashboard's language?

[wallywoll]

Mike could you explain how to put in order firewall rules. Sophos is saying we should block everything in top rule and than allow what we want in bottom rules.

When the adimn password is changed... Does this mean that my Router Admin password has also changed?

[jaycayanes]

Great Instructions! BUT, I greatly appreciate advice to setup Sophos UTM Home as Bridge setup: WAN >> Cable/Modem (SB6190) >> Bridge Protectli/SophosUTM >> DD-WRT
Router (DHCP/WiFi) >> LAN. The router is set (192.168.10.2). I need UTM as a Bridge/Firewall/IPS so hoping is can be 192.168.10.1. When I set eth0 IPv4/GW on UTM, I do get an IP from the modem but cannot get access to the Internet from a Protectli port or from the DD-WRT router. Admin on UTM is on eth2 at 192.168.10.112. Can you give some advice and also point me to a good video on this? Thanks!
