Question about coming from pfsense to sophos

Martyn Campbell

Hi,

 

I am wanting to move from pfsense.  I have been using it for 2 years, largely without issue until I wanted to use a nic to run behind a PIA vpn.  I asked the question in the forums to be rather aggressively told it could so then began my nightmare journey.  I spent days trying to do this, I followed a guide from PIA themselves on how to achieve this only to find it not working as expected and getting barked at by the moderator at pfsense telling me that pia and their users are useless it's all wrong do it like this etc. This has gone on for days, abusive responses to all of my questions so I have decided to leave pfsense, I am not a network engineer which is what it appears I am expected to be.  When I did actually get it running (from reddit forums and youtube videos) I had dns leaks & the killswitch did nothing.

I currently have the following hardware

Model: HP Gen8 Microserver
M/B: Version - s/n:
BIOS: HP Version J06. Dated: 01/22/2018
CPU: Intel® Core™ i5-3470T CPU @ 2.90GHz
HVM: Enabled
IOMMU: Enabled
Cache: 64 KiB, 512 KiB, 3072 KiB
Memory: 16 GiB DDR3 Single-bit ECC (max. installable capacity 16 GiB)
Network: eth0: 1000 Mbps, full duplex, mtu 1500
eth1: interface down

I also have a 4 port nic with a bt modem going into port 1

LAN network on port 2

UniFi network on port 3

Port 4 I would like to be the vpn network (PIA if possible) with no dns leaks & a kill switch

 

I run unraid on this server and pfsense is running as a VM

 

Is Sophos right for me? if so, which version? Would I be able to acheive what I am looking to do?

 

Many Thanks in advance! :-)

    Hi and welcome,

    let us start with some basics.

    1/. Unless buying Sophos hardware there is only one version of XG, the software version

    2/.CPU maximum of 4 cores as fast as you can - unless you purchase a commercial licence

    3/. memory - 6gb unless you purchase a commercial licence

    4/. the software version will run on VM with the VM providing the disk

    5/. if using a VM lock memory and CPUs to the XG instance.

    6/. how you setup your networks is up to you.

    7/. this is a community to community forum with Sophos support staff providing online assistance and an occasional Product manager offering advice.

    8/. you can use as many NICs as you like

    9/. when you run in to issues please come and ask for assistance, but one issue per thread.
