LOL, yup, no fun when you do that remotely.Me while playing around in ESXi setting up my vNICs and vSwitches all while 700 miles away from home and I won't be back home for five more days:
Me: Hey, what's this Management Network on the vSwitch? Hmm. I'm sure I don't need it. Let's disconnect the vNIC from the vSwitch that has the Management Network.
Putty: Connection lost
It was probably still in the initialization / update stage. I took the screenshot right after it came up and I shut it down right after that. I haven't looked at it since and I won't get to it until Wednesday...life, family, extra-warm October weather. It's currently sitting behind the ASUS router so that I can play around with it until it becomes the frontman.Is the CPU usage always 100% on this version? It is Beta after all. How much resources do you have allocated to it? I should probably run up my XG firewall again and start getting it all set up to replace UTM. The wife is gone on a trip so this gives me time to play without getting yelled at for taking down the internet.
Understood! Enjoy the weather and family before it starts getting cold, then enjoy the winter weather and family ;)...life, family, extra-warm October weather.
Since it does not apply to me, I've not looked... is there a migration wizard to import your settings?I guess I need to check out the new features for XG v17, should be a huge upgrade from v15. I'm still torn on if I will migrate to XG or just stay with UTM until they stop supporting it,
I saw someone ask that question but I didn't see a response so I'm not sure. These are similar but different products but it would be nice to have XG import the UTM configuration file, but I'm not holding my breath. My configuration is fairly simple but just time consuming to re-enter all the static IPs. The few firewall rules I have should be simple.Since it does not apply to me, I've not looked... is there a migration wizard to import your settings?
I've been reading that the XG GUI is getting better and v17 should be a real improvement. With that said, I still may not take the leap to it however I will test it out on my second WAN IP address. And as I recall, even the Sophos UTM really sucked getting use to it's GUI. After a few years I am better with it but by no means do I call myself a Pro at it, not even a little bit.Plus I found the XG GUI .... not that good. Don't know if it's improved now (was testing one of the first versions so maybe I should give it another try)
Best to rebuild
Print the config of your UTM to PDF. As a PD you can copy and paste as you need.
Use that as your reference -- Rules will change so you can just reference and compose as you need.
Do not name anything TV as "TV" is a domain. Instead use MAINLGTV or SONYTELEVSION as an example.
Find the MAC id's of all your home devices. Make a table for reference in a txt file. You may wish to make allowances for the MAC to IP in your DHCP rules as well as clientless user on that same IP address. Table references do help. Rules fo IP --> Port --> IP Address so if you have your doco...
What’s new?
XG Firewall v17 delivers innovative technology, including a breakthrough in network visibility: Synchronised App Control. This automatically identifies, classifies and controls custom, evasive and generic network applications that are currently going unidentified.
It also greatly streamlines configuration and day-to-day management in key areas by providing more powerful tools that are intuitive and easy to use for Firewall, IPS, Web, NAT and VPN.
Security and Control
Management and Trouble-shooting
- Synchronized App Control – a break-through in network visibility, taking application control to a whole new level
- Web keyword monitoring – for dynamic content control and enhanced online child safety in education
- IPS and App Control UI enhancements – enables smart filters and makes custom policies easier to build and maintain
Networking
- Firewall rule management enhancements – management of large firewall rule sets are more straightforward
- Policy Test Simulator – simpler validation and troubleshooting of firewall rules and policy settings
- VPN Setup Improvements – easier configuration and management of site-to-site VPN connections
- IKEv2 VPN support – better IPSec VPN interoperability with other systems
- Wildcard FQDN support – fully qualified domain objects are more powerful and predefined cloud services
- NAT rule enhancements – fully object based means more powerful rules that can forward multiple services and ports in a single rule

Check the URL, I just tried https://imgur.com/a/0nITv and it worked on a browser where I wasn't logged in.The link failed to load but that it okay. I think I will wait a while.
Approximately 6 seconds per screenshot @ over 150 images. It took a few, yeah. I did it for the community. Not that setting up a test VM takes much work, but this way you can get a good idea of what to expect without putting in much time.EDIT: The link works now (6:55PM). Not sure why it didn't work before. It looks oddly like v16 but I'm sure there are some differences in there. Did you take all those snapshots manually? That must have taken a long time (20 minutes or so) to get all of those.
