| Issue | Likely Cause | Solution in Sophos UTM | |-------|--------------|------------------------| | AnyDesk fails to connect (relay mode) | TLS inspection blocking | Bypass inspection for *.anydesk.com | | High latency / voice breakup | UDP 7070 blocked or throttled | Create separate high-priority QoS rule for UDP 7070 | | AnyDesk cannot establish direct P2P | NAT traversal failure | Enable UPnP? (Not recommended). Instead, ensure TCP 7070 is open outbound | | Application control misidentifies AnyDesk | Outdated signature pack | Update Sophos UTM pattern database | Understanding these ports is critical for Sophos UTM
