Problems with Sophos UTM firewall home.

Question

Hello, I installed on a machine this firewall but I have no access to the Internet or the Web admin. My path to access the firewall is https://192.168.0.1:4444/. But it never opens because I don't have the Internet. I tried the Windows troubleshooter but it tells me that I do not have a valid IP. The computer is connected as well: from the router to the firewall and from the firewall to my computer. If anyone can help me very grateful in advance. Best regards.

I suppose the you can solve the IP address problem by assigning your machine a static IP in the same subnet as the firewall's LAN. I have an XG at home so I dont remember the exact installation steps - but I suppose you have to manually select the LAN IP on which the firewall will be reached when you install it. You can validate the IP on which the firewall is listening on the firewall boot screen. Assuming that IP is 192.168.0.1:4444 ; assign your machine 192.168.0.2 with a 255.255.255.0 subnet mask and gateway as 192.168.0.1. Validate cable connectivity and you should have access to the firewall then. 
 To enable access to the internet for the LAN devices look at this video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m7A-fKEQJys 
 P.S - If you don't really have a strong need to use the UTM product , try the XG.It has most of the features in the UTM product that you may want for home use. I found it friendlier to configure and easy.
