How to change Packets TTL (Time to Live) value in firewall?

Dev Sky

Is there a feature in Sophos Firewall to change TTL value of packets so that the authorized users in my network cannot share internet access by creating their personal WiFi Hotspot to connect unauthorized users to access the internet through my network?

Please let me know and help me on this matter. If there is no such feature in Sophos Firewall then how can we recommend the Sophos to add this feature in their firewall as soon as possible.

Thank you so much

    Hi,

    In the meantime while waiting for a fix let us suggest a method to overcome your issue. Please post a copy of your firewall rule that is being used by the AP connections?

    XG115W - v20.0.1 MR-1 - Home

    XG on VM 8 - v20 GA

    This feature is available in Mikrotik>IP>Firewall>Mangle> New rule> Chain(Postrouting)>Action(Change TTL)> TTL=2

    TTL 1 is for my Firewall and other is for my endpoint devices.

    I am using Mikrotik Router to avail this feature between my Firewall and ISP.

    If Sophos Firewall provides this feature update then I can remove Mikrotik router from my network and it will increase my network performance and decrease the cost and delay in traffic as well.

    Please do something and help me with this scenario.
