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.

Cheers - Bob

You're right that an appliance license won't work on your own computer, Steve. If you're not running a business out of your home where you're using the UTM to protect your business, you can use the free home-use license. If you are using this with business uses, send me a PM.

Hi,

you don't install linux, just the SG from the ISO disk.

Turns out that he does run a business out of his home. In an exchange of PMs, I commented that the 105 was right for his business (includes Sophos Support!) and that the free home-use license could be put on a beefier computer so that non-business computers could take advantage of the Gb connection.
