What access does the UTM need for Endpoint Protection to work?

Hello, my current setup has the Sophos appliance on our edge performing all NAT/VPN connections for my home. We have several computers that use Endpoint Protection and I would like to place a Juniper SRX at my edge and move the Sophos to filter only web traffic. 

I know before you say leave it at front, I am creating some new rulesets that the Astaro does not appear to support (basing rules on packet TTL for example). I only have 1 public IP so this change will make the UTM behind a NAT, my question is what access from the internet is needed for Endpoint Protection to work with updates?

Does the UTM phone home to allow such clients to update? Or do the clients talk to the UTM directly for it.

Thanks in advance for clearing this up [:)]

  • The clients get their updates from the cloud (directly from Sophos), but there is some kind of reporting of status. I don't know if the report directly to UTM (which seems to make sense to me) or through the cloud.

    Managing several Sophos UTMs and Sophos XGs both at work and at some home locations, dedicated to continuously improve IT-security and feeling well helping others with their IT-security challenges.

    Sometimes I post some useful tips on my blog, see blog.pijnappels.eu/category/sophos/ for Sophos related posts.
