Uses for an Astaro SG 220

Hi Steve,

Unfortunately there isn't an open source firewall that can be loaded that will use all of the hardware like the display etc. but you can technically load any firewall onto the unit that can work with an intel x86 architecture. You can install the software version of the UTM on it and use it as a home appliance and there is a user written guide somewhere as you have wipe all the partitions to do this (which you would have to do regardless for other software).

Here's a nice community post that details a lot of it: https://community.sophos.com/products/unified-threat-management/f/52/t/27944

Hope that helps!
