Anyone familiar with these? Do they require subscriptions to work or do they have some basic features like nat, ipsec tunnels, etc out of the box. Thank you in advance!
No problem. I can't speak of the non-home licensed version as that's all I've used.Thank you for the insight. How are they in stock form? Do they have the usual enterprise features like nat, ipsec vpn, mobile ipsec/l2tp, etc without requiring additional licenses or contracts? I wouldn't want to mess with the home version or installing anything else on it--just use it as is if it has the features.
You have to get licenses for it to work. Subscriptions are Network, Web Filtering, Web Server, Email, and some more.Thank you for the insight. How are they in stock form?

Interesting to know about the hardware. I bet that home license wouldn't included ipsec tunnels for free though.Sophos will give you a free license for home use, UTM is limited to 50 IPs and XG is limited to 4 cores and 6Gb of ram.
Those boxes are X86 and a lot of them have a VGA port on the back, or the pinout in the motherboard.
Was that just for the UTM or for the dhcp as well? Because if it is for the dhcp, I'd have to use a separate dhcp server to serve the almost 90 IPs I've got atm.I love UTM but finally bailed. My home network was always close to the 50 IP limit (especially on the holidays, with guests/family visiting.) To make it worse, I don't yet have IPv6 from my broadband provider, but that would put me way over the top.
That would be cool if it has ipsec as I may consider using it at as an endpoint at smaller sites. I wonder what type of throughput it can handle?If memory serves, it does. There are a few customizable features you don't get, but I was running web filtering, email proxy and an L2TP server for my daughter who lives overseas and needs access to US sites. 99% of the problem is the limited number of IP addresses. And if&when I get IPv6 from verizon, that would have imploded...
Interesting. I wonder if it makes any sense to run this in a vm.It purports to support site to site ipsec
