Today I will show you to replace the Cisco Router with a Sophos UTM to route between different VLANs.įirst we will connect a Sophos UTM interface (in our example eth3) with our switch environment (switch config example ). Last thought: If you decide to go with pfsense, check out OPNSense and research why you might want to choose it instead of pfsense.In May I posted a tutorial for running a “router on a stick” with Cisco Router, Switch and HP Switch.

Then you have to get the client cert and the client software to the user. Then you have to configure certificates for the users. To make matters worse, 90% of those options have reasonable default values that could have been used instead of making the user figure out what needs to go there. With pfsense, you first have to make pfsense a certificate authority which requires you to configure a dozen options that require a masters degree in certificates to understand. With Sophos, you enter a few details, click a few buttons, and Sophos builds all of the needed pieces for you including a web portal where clients can download their certificates and client software. With pfsense, the web menus are essentially just a front end for the myriad of configuration options that each component requires.Īn example of this is creating client access VPN. Great performance, but the driver's seat is an aluminum lawn chair, and when it rains, you get wet.Īnother way to look at it is that Sophos has a task oriented menu system. Think of pfsense as a homemade bucket-T roadster with a Chevy 350 engine.

With pfsense, anything other than basic firewall functionality requires lots of research, installing third party packages, then trying to figure out how to make it all play together using probably outdated documentation. There probably isn't anything that Sophos does that pfsense can't be made to do, but with Sophos, getting something done is one or two mouse clicks. If you want a hot-rod where you control every nut and bolt, go pfsense.

If you want a full featured firewall with intrusion detection and application control, Sophos is the way to go. Which is better is subject to what you want. Have a look at the Sophos forums to see which would be right for you. IMHO, The new Sophus UTM (XG) isn't quite fully baked just yet, but is getting close. I left pfsense years ago for Sophos SG UTM (the old version). r/HomeNetworking - Simpler networking advice. r/pfsense - for all things pfsense ('nix firewall) Might be able to find things useful for a lab. r/hardwareswap - Used hardware, swap hardware.
