Qotom Mini Q170S (8GB RAM 64GB SSD CPU J3710)

initB10r

Hello all,

I would like to secure my network at home with Sophos XG. I use a VDSL line from 1and1.

I bought the Zyxel VMG1312-B30A VDSL modem to establish the Internet connection.

Now I am thinking about what I can use as hardware for the XG. In my research in the forum I have often read about the manufacturer Qotom, but also that there are often copatibility problems with the network cards.

Here is a link to my favourite model: de.aliexpress.com/.../32790213756.html

Since I only have one LAN and WAN, I selected a model with 2 NICS.

Are the 2 x Realtek RTL8111E Gigabit LAN compatible with Sophos?

Is the hardware otherwise sufficient to run Sophos XG? We are 4 people at home.

Thanks in advance for your support

Regards
Marc

    I've been running Sophos XG for about 3 years now on a Qotom Q335G4 with an Intel Core i5-5250U, 8GB RAM and a 128GB SSD. I have a fiber ISP with a symmetrical 1GB connection and run a fairly extensive IPS policy, web policy, application filter and anti-virus scanning. The CPU load is usually sitting around 6% and I never see it go much beyond maybe 12-14%. No issues achieving the max speed my ISP offers.

    I don't run SSL/TLS decryption and scanning anymore (too many small random issues), but even when I did on Sophos XG v17 (prior to v18's new Xstream architecture with FastPath), I was able to achieve about 500-600Mbps during speed tests. CPU usage for normal usage was up a little bit but still generally <15%. I do run the Qotom box in a server rack on a shelf, and I've noticed it gets pretty warm so I do have a small fan that helps cool it. I have no idea what the CPU temperatures are but it's been a rock solid device for me over the years.
