I tested a VM with XG home Edition and I was pretty happy with it that I decided to order a physical firewall to get a real protection instead of virtual.
I ordered a XGS 116 and I got really disapointed by the noize of the device. I plug the device in the ground floor and I can hear the high frequences fan noise even in my living room at the first floor. I get surprise when I upgraded to the latest firmware (19OS) that I still got 3 free update and after that I must order support which is a good price.I also realized that I have no licenses for IPS and this costs like 600.- per year.
I feel like this firewall was way to big for home usage and I will asks for a refund.
I checked on the web and it looks like the XGS 87 also have a lot of big noise feedback regarding the size of the box. Is it the same regarding the licenses as additional?
Is there a way to have a fanless device with XG Home Edition instead of having to sell my car just to have a good performant firewall?
