![]() Users must sign up through Sophos before a usage license for the UTM can be obtained. The first step in the process is to create an account. We’ll start here with obtaining a license. Over the next few posts, I will document the installation and configuration of the Sophos UTM Home Edition with the end goal of offering a one-stop-shop for potential issues. I’ve chosen the former and now have a dedicated box with four network cards ready for the install. Sophos UTM is a full operating system and can be run on independent hardware or in a virtual machine. Though certain features are disabled in the non-paid edition, mostly from an interface customization perspective, it is more than robust enough to meet my requirements. ![]() Aside from offering an intuitive firewall management interface, Sophos UTM Home Edition includes built-in web filtering, multiple VPN and remote access options, and it can even manage guest wireless networks hosted from non-Sophos access points. Cost was, of course, an important factor in my decision the Sophos UTM Home Edition is completely free and comes with an impressive array of features. After speaking with a number of our Defensive experts, I’ve finally settled on the Sophos UTM Home Edition. To that end, a few weeks ago, I started a deep dive into potential Unified Threat Management (UTM) solutions. Given the industry in which I work, I’ve tried to ensure that security has been integrated into each step of the build-out. This has allowed me to build out a significant home network which includes multiple wireless access points, a mixed Windows/Linux environment, and various other endpoints. I recently built a house and was fortunate enough to be able to fill the walls with Cat6. When the firewwall-ip will be down again and i got a little bit of time i will setup debian on the box again.UPDATE: Part 2 – The Installation, Part 3 – The Setup, Part 4 – Definitions and Rules, and Part 5 – SSL VPN are now available. Why does astaro is doing so much with the hdd? i dont use any "intrusion protection" or proxies or anything, i still have inserted my old rules nothing else?Īlso i think astaro is doing something every 24h after the time you have installed astaro on your box? what it is i also dont know, i think astaro is like windows, you cannot see or doing anything real only click a red or green lamp? Perhaps i dont check for what "Oper" and "Admin" means? My debian box was sometimes running over 150 days, doesnt needed all the kernel release between because of a very small selfbuild kernel, where theses errors couldnt affecting me.īut why my astaro host again down, the ip was down i mean,not the system. Also after i clicked on the red-lamp , it went green and i got an new ip from my provider. While astaro was still doing something with my hdd i clicked again on the green lamp, and then i got a red-lamp, but WITH an ip from my provider? is that right? My new post is also because the astaro was 1 minute before again down, the host is only running 11 days. Thanks for the answers, i use 8gb harddrive as recommended in astaro hardware requirements, and i use 128mb ram. Where can i watch whats going on on this firewall ?Ĭheck the logs via WebAdmin, or use 'top' on the console How much memory are you using ? Use at least 256mb, better 512 then HDD activity will decrease. ![]() ![]() ![]() Why does astaro needs so long, and is doing so much on hdd while setting internet-eth again on Oper=up ? The interface is green and Oper=up, but it will take up to 2-3 minutes till i can call a http site? what is astaro doing while this time? Or would you compare a Mercedes SMART with a 1000 horsepower Truck, because both are CARS ?īTW, it is recommended to use at least 20GB harddrive (although many home users use smaller ones) What the hell is that? i run it on a 8gb hdd and my old debian was running on a 1.2gb hdd and never logged out for no reason?ĭon't compare yur old debian with Astaro, only because both is Linux. ![]()
