Forgive me if I'm mistaken, but it sounds like you're trying to HA. Have you already gone through the HA setup? If you configure everything on the primary and then configure the secondary with an IP in the same primary Lan then the secondary will assume all the aliases and port forwards More on reddit.com

Yet another disappointment with the XG's email protection module. I am seriously considering simply setting up SMTP NAT to our old internal spam filter (SpamTitan).

r/sophos on Reddit: Sophos XG... Path to an early grave
August 31, 2022 -
I try...I really really try to love it, but it is literally the absolutely worst firewall product I have ever used in 20+ years.I want to write a book on all of the things that are wrong with it, but I need to enjoy the rest of my life in peace.What are the things you all don't like? Maybe our lists will align.
EDIT: For clarification....this is hopefully going to provide some insight to Sophos on what to FIX... because, it doesn't seem like after 6+ years they are making much progress...AND, XG does actually have a lot of potential, it just needs a LOT of TLC. Maybe we can make a difference, and make the product usable and functional in larger and more complex environments (where it seems to fall on its face most often).

XG is garbage compared to the SG.

I started writing a list when I was really pissed about a lot of stuff that was bad on XG (or at least worse than SG). To be fair, XG is getting better and V19 is already ten times better than when I started using XG with V17.5. Here are some of my points: No NTP server Since Sophos recommends migrating SG to XG, they should at least support every feature that was supported on the 'old' product No DHCP Options (at least via GUI) They fixed this in V19, took them long enough Interfaces can't be disabled in the Webinterface I don't want to delete and re-enter everything if I want to disable an interface You can't select an Active Directory Group for Sophos Admin Users Was possible on SG, now you have to elevate every user manually if you want to use AD users as admin IPSEC VPN only possible on WAN Interfaces Site-to-site and Remote Access. If you tell this Sophos, they just ask 'Why would you ever need to do this? Configure your segmentation and your zones correctly'. Strangely though, with SSL VPN it is working without problems. Why would I ever need this? HA Port monitoring not possible on VLAN-level No 'where used' for objects This is a huge one, especially because you can't delete some objects when they are used somewhere The 'object-oriented' concept is not really consistent. In many configuration menus you can't use Host Objects but you have to type the IP address manually More maintenance effort and you have to consider many things if e.g. an Ip address changes You can't create Web Filter Exceptions for users Auto-creation of firewall rules when configuring IPSec VPN sucks. They just create a rule with all source and destination networks. This means, if I have 2 subnets on one location in the IPSec VPN, they both can access each other now. Congratulations. OSPF Sophos won't propagate your IPSec Client vpn network with OSPF They change random thigs on updates causing strange behaviour From one version to another, they changed the maximum length of a password field (I think it was in notification settings --> mail server). Because our password was longer before the update, this caused the Firewall to crash everytime we started the update. Took a while to figure that out. I don't know if they already fixed some of them, if so, my bad. Most of these points aren't particularly bad, it's just very tedious and costs more time and nerves than it should. Reading this again, this sounds like a huge rant. It is not supposed to be one. It's just a collection of very small rants I had over the last 3 years..

Sophos SG or XG - Which is right for me? - Corporate Armor
October 20, 2020 - Basically, the hardware on the SG and XG series are extremely similar in terms of CPU, RAM, memory, and ports. The main difference is that SG Series appliances come pre-installed with UTM 9 firmware while XG firewalls come pre-installed with XG firewall firmware. As a newer product, the XG’s Sophos Firewall Operating System (SFOS) is updated more frequently.
