Sophos Firewall Configuration Viewer
Sophos, Thursday, February 12th, 2026
Many of you have requested a way to view your Sophos Firewall configurations in an easy-to-read format. The Sophos Firewall product team is pleased to announce a new Sophos Firewall Configuration Viewer that provides a browser-based tool for easily viewing, auditing, documenting, and comparing firewall configuration files.
Note that no data is shared outside your browser. Your data stays private and is not uploaded anywhere - all the file parsing, analysis, and report generation stays local to your device.
What can it do:
- Easily review your entire Sophos Firewall configuration on a single screen with features to filter, sort, and search
- Compare two Sophos Firewall configurations from the same or different devices to see what's different
- Search for references to network objects to see where they are used in the configuration
- Export an HTML version of the configuration for documentation or archival
How to use it: To get started, you will need to export your configuration to an XML file which is done easily on your Sophos Firewall under Backup and Firmware > Import export
