I have some interesting options for running a UTM for primarily IPS/AV purposes for a Home LAN (1 user) with 50/5 connection. (All or most rules for Win/Linux/Mobile)
Options:
Use my main computer (Filtering it's own connection) , i7-5930K running Win 8 (with VirtualBox or HyperV) running Sophos UTM (Have a 4 NIC PCIe card + mobo NIC)
Use AMD Phenom II X2 N620 HP LAPTOP (DV7-4053CL) 8Gb with working NICs - (Geekbench scores vs i3 in links below)
Would either of these work? I'm thinking about running Windows Server 2012 on the laptop with a VM UTM or just straight as a physical machine (not preferred probably long term)
My concern about using the i7 is that seems like a security and performance risk big time for both. (will be gaming some)
I really need some input on these. I could get a third system but cash is a big concern. The geekbench scores are below, i3's score 2800-3500, my laptop scores 2800.
Thanks!
