Sophos XG - using VPN like EXPRESSVPN

tomnovy

Hey Sophos users,

 

I am completely new here.  Moved few weeks ago from pfsense to Sophos XG HOME version.  I am impressed how great the product is.

One thing I cannot figure out is how to use VPN service like EXPRESSVPN on my Sophos XG - for privacy reasons.

Anyone has any suggestions?

 

Thank you in Advance

Tom

    Not possible I'm afraid.

    The workaround for me was to fire up a pfsense VM - I happen to have a server with lots of NICs - with its WAN port connected to a free port on my fiber converter and LAN port to an interface on the XG. The pfsense runs a permanent OpenVPN connection and the XG uses firewall rules to route appropriately via the VPN. Works great and because the pfsense does nothing else I get awesome throughput.

    You could of course use any VPN router in place of pfsense, but be aware most off the shelf routers have lousy VPN performance.

    Hope this helps
