Sophos Community,
I have what I believe to be my "final setup" of Sophos done. The content that I want blocked is blocked, with no known false positives yet thusfar.
My question is what threats still exist to my firewall? I have met my personal goal of beating multiple 5 min Google searches and much to my delight when I did a search for "Ultrasurf alternatives" and found that it was able to block every single last one including TOR, Tunnel Bear, VyprVPN, ProXPN, HotspotShield, and more I gain more and more confidence in this product.
I have 2 questions to present to the community for feedback.
1. What, if any, tools, programs, tricks, ect. can the user use against the UTM to bypass it? I am mainly interested in things that the average internet savy home user could come up with but I am willing to put Sophos to the test against any suggestion.
2. This is a 2 part question.
A. The adblocker feature works like a champ, not folding in the face of any ad I have seen yet. My only other experience with "proxy server" based ad blocking is with Untangle. Sophos seems to take a bit longer to block a Youtube ad than Untangle did. What could be causing this?
I thought it might be the Antivirus scanning but that is disabled on video streams unless this somehow does not fall into that category.
B. What is the best hardware to install this on? I am going to keep mine as is on my old repurposed dell but I would like to help my Youth Leader set up a box for his house and the best box I have found so far was on Amazon
Intel Atom D2500 Dual LAN, Dual COM Fanless Mini-ITX PC, D2500CCE, 2GB, T3410
Now ideally I would install this on an HP Proliant or Dell Poweredge off of Ebay (they are actually very reasonable and you get SO much bang for your buck) but they are pretty darn loud and hog both space and power.)
Any recommendations for a low price point would be awesome. The Sophos community is one I really want to contribute to so hopefully I will be here for some time to come [:)]
Best Regards,
Bergie
