I've just installed the Sophos UTM 9.3 Firewall software here at home. I've been able to get it to work so all my home devices pass through the device. I'm now trying to get my remote access from Microsoft Home Server working.
I know that UTM doesn't support UpnP which is fine but I can not get port forwarding working. I've attached below the statement from MS regarding manually setting up a router but NO joy yet.
I'm working behind a an AT&T Uverse modem. I've set up my feed to the UTM from the AT&T modem as a DMZ thinking that all packets should get through to the UTM. (may be wrong here)
I am not a Network person but I am a System/Backup/DR admin so I'm somewhat familiar with the environment.
I would greatly appreciate it if some kind soul out there would spend the time to help me out.
TIA,
Brian

If your router does not support the UPnP standard, you need to either manually configure your router or purchase a router that does support the standard.
Note
Microsoft maintains a list of routers that work with Windows Home Server. For more information, see the Microsoft Web site (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=86665).
Your router must forward the following ports to the IP address of your home server:
Service or Protocol Port
HTTP TCP 80
HTTPS TCP 443
Remote Desktop Proxy TCP 4125
HTTP is the protocol that your Web browser uses to view Web pages. You use this protocol to view your default Web page for Windows Home Server.
HTTPS is the protocol that your Web browser uses to view secure Web pages. You use this protocol to view your Remote Access Web page for Windows Home Server.
Remote Desktop Proxy is the service that is used to connect to your home computers via the Remote Access Computers tab.
A typical router-configuration page includes a table that looks similar to the following one, assuming the IP address of your home server is 192.168.0.100:
Port forwarding rules
IP Address Protocol (TCP/UDP) Schedule Inbound Filter
192.168.0.100 TCP 80 Always Allow All
192.168.0.100 TCP 443 Always Allow All
192.168.0.100 TCP 4125 Always Allow All
Use the following procedure to manually configure your router.
To manually configure your router
Open your Web browser, and then connect to the configuration Web page for your router. Usually the Web page is at the IP address of your router.
Note
If your router does not have a configuration Web page, you need to connect to your router manually. For more information, see the documentation for your router.
If necessary, type your user name and password to log on to the configuration Web page. Some routers include a default user name, password, and IP address on the underside of the router. For more information, see the documentation for your router.
Find the port forwarding configuration page on your router. For more information, see the documentation for your router.
Type the necessary information to forward TCP port 80, TCP port 443, and TCP port 4125 to the IP address of your home server. The IP address of your home server appears on the Remote Access Settings page.
Save the port-forwarding configuration on your router, and then close the browser. If your router needs to restart, wait until it restarts completely before you proceed.
On the Remote Access Settings page, click Repair . The configuration tests run again.
