Circumventing processor throughput limitation on UTM using DMZ?

I have a home office with a SG-105. After recently upgrading to a 1Gbps broadband circuit, I am trying to figure out how to use that bandwidth for my home purposes, without the limitations of the UTM.

If I configure a port for a DMZ, can I shut off packet inspection for that port and then have access to the full internet bandwidth, understanding that I won't have security on that port? Or will the throughput limitation of this sized UTM still apply?

Thanks for any input on this subject.

Hey Steve - welcome to the UTM Community!

Let me add my voice to Emile's...

I never recommend Sophos appliances for home users. If I were you, I would buy/make a PC with at least a 3+GHz quad-core CPU and 8MB of RAM. You 'll be able to restore your existing configuration to the new device. Once you have your new UTM running, sell that 105.

Bob,

I think this approach makes sense, especially since I have such a machine in my closet.

But how does licensing work? I don't see how I can transfer a UTM license. Ideas?

Thanks for taking the time to suggest this.
