Avoid Sophos XG Home

Joyce Taylor

I have used Sophos XG Home for years mostly because it was the only solution I could find that would block P2P file sharing to avoid legal hassles from guest users and visitors.

However, their software has really gone downhill since v16 of the firmware. It is almost completely unusable because of instability.

On top of that, the community isn't allowed to discuss actual problems.. anything disparaging is deleted and censored.

So if you post looking for assistance you will get responses mythdhr like:

  1. your hardware is bad

  2. your wan link is bad or unstable

  3. troubleshooting next-gen firewalls is difficult

But really, a firewall product should work out of the box with default settings..

    default settings are block all and the xg works very well at that.

    Depending on what you are trying to achieve for most home users the product is good at most functions but does require considerable amount of configuring to achieve deny access function.

    Please post an example of where your posts have been deleted.
