Hello all,
Scroll down or go to *** if you want to skip the blah blah ...
I am new to the Sophos (Astaro) world and loving it. The last time I looked at Astaro is when they first started and they were charging for everything so I never knew or learned about the Free Home Version until I started to look for another free firewall. Even so, there are a lot of people that do not know about this. They all know about the most popular which I am sure you already know so I am not going to list all of the distributions. I have personally used before switching to Sophos UTM;
1. Untangle
2. PfSense
3. Cisco 1811W ISR ACLs and IPS - Personally owned and it now trunked to Sophos ASG along with a Cisco Catalyst 2950.
4. Cisco PIX 501 - Sent to Recycling ... :-)
5. Smoothwall
5. OpenBSD and PF
6. Cisco 2501 ACL
And I work on Cisco ASA series and Juniper SRX series at work.
blah blah ...
***Now for my questions ... lol
1. Does up2date work for the free Home Version? The reason I asked is because the 11/27/14 code update (9.210020) did not show up nor was it downloaded. I actually learned about from the forums and used the ftp link where you upload up2date packages to the firewall. On the dashboard and in management > up2date, it stated that firmware was up to date and that wasn't the case at all.
2. Does the IPS work in the free home version, do I need to use IDS Wake-up tool or something like that to make it alert other than of course real attacks?
That's it for now, everything else I have figured out or was able to research it.
Thanks in advance
