5. Local Fixes

Fix the "hairpin" bug

The "hairpin" bug is a "feature" of router efficiency - when an external address that maps (externally) back to a local network object, the router recognizes this, and changes the from address to the local object (rather than the externally recognized address). When the server tries to respond to this, it uses the supplied address, which is not recognized externally, and consequently returns a "server not responding" message. The following steps will rectify this.

These steps are taken from the Sophos Community Knowledge Base.

1.    Browse to Network Protection | NAT | NAT.
2.    Click New NAT rule...
3.    Under Position, change the number such that it is the same as your existing DNAT rule.
        This will cause the new rule to be immediately above the existing rule.
        If the Full-NAT rule is below the DNAT rule, the DNAT rule will apply instead, and the Full-NAT rule will not work.
4.    Change Rule Type to Full NAT (Source + Destination).
5.    Under For traffic from, choose your affected internal network.
        For example: Internal (LAN) (Network)
6.    Under Use service, choose the appropriate service or group of services (eg. HTTP, HTTPS, etc).
7.    Under Going to, choose the external address of the server to be forwarded.
        For example: External (WAN) (Address)
8.    Under Change the destination to, choose the internal address of the server.
9.    Under Change the source to, choose your UTM's internal address object for the appropriate internal network.
        For example: Internal (LAN) (Address)
10.   Ensure Automatic Firewall rule is checked. Otherwise, ensure you create the appropriate firewall objects.
11.   Click Save.
12.   Activate the new Full-NAT object.
