Installing Free Home Firewall on Virtual machine

Hi Kevin, 

I'm running at home a XG Firewall on the free VMWare ESXi-Server without any problems. Just download the ESXi XG-ISO-File, mount the Image in the ESXi-Server and install the Firewall.

Have fun,

Ben

Ben,

That is great news. I presume this is just for testing and cannot be used as it should be used on your network?

Hi Kevin,

I use this at home. There is a home license of Sophos XG for non-commercial home use:

Free Firewall for Home Edition | Sophos Home Firewall

When you want to test the Sophos XG in your company you can install it and have 30 days time to test all features. After that you need a license or you can use the basic firewall with limited features. 

if you want to have a look on the firewall you can try the demo:

Sophos Next Generation Firewall | Sophos NGFW Demo

Cheers,

Ben
