Sophos Firewall: Set Up SD-WAN Routes

This step-by-step tutorial shows you how to set up SD-WAN routes in Sophos Firewall. We demonstrate how to configure an example company network with MPLS gateways connecting branch locations to the head office. Then, we create an SD-WAN profile to break out traffic for SaaS apps using ISP links. Lastly, we show you how to monitor SD-WAN performance.

We demonstrate the steps in SFOS v21 - minor differences may be present in other versions of Sophos Firewall.
