Build’s Name: Portico
Operating System/ Storage Platform: Sophos UTM 9
CPU: Atom C2558
Motherboard: Supermicro A1SRM-2558F
Chassis: SuperChassis 512L-200B
Drives: TBD
RAM: 2 x (Kingston KVR16E11S8/4G 4GB DDR3 1600MHz ECC CL11 DIMM Sr X8 W/TS Memory)
Add-in Cards: N/A
Power Supply: 200watt supermicro
Other Bits: N/A
Usage Profile: UTM for home network with 6-8 devices, and VPN for 2-4 devices.
Other information…
Current:
Planning this build to provide malware scanning, web filtering, and routing services to approximately six to eight devices on our local home network. As well, to provide VPN for cell phones, and laptops when away from the home.
Storage is on FreeNAS server with six WD Red drives in ZFS Z2. WAN goes to a DSL 50Mbps/5Mbps service, LAN goes to Netgear GS724T 24 port switch.
Future:
Will add app server on another piece of hardware to run mail server, and Owncloud. UTM will provide filtering and scanning for the mail server, and Owncloud server.
Suggestions?
Will this hardware be robust enough to handle four VPN connections, while providing filtering for both the VPN and local traffic?
Will this hardware work for the next six years?
