If you've run into an issue, chances are someone else has already posted about it in that forum. In addition, for Sophos firewall questions, this isn't the best forum. XG's setup can be a bit more confusing, compared to UTM, but once you figure out how things work, I find it's a lot more flexible with the firewall and filtering rules. Setup goes like this: ATT Uverse -> Sophos UTM -> Router (or PC for now till I get it going) I found online the 12 basic steps for a Sophos setup and followed it to the T. Trying to setup Sophos UTM Home but no luck getting to the internet. but I find McAfee is a bit more aggressive with labelling sites as malicious and gives more false positives. Posted by bankermanb on Nov 25th, 2015 at 3:17 PM. UTM uses McAfee TrustedSource database for website categorization/filtering, which has a lot more filtering categories than XG (which uses Sophos web filtering database) and is more accurate with site categorization. UTM has a lot of features that haven't been migrated to the XG platform yet but home users will not use most of those. I've had to put in a lot of exclusions in UTM to prevent issues with playing videos. If you're planning on doing SSL scanning/decryption, XG's SFOS version 17 (which came out only a couple of weeks ago) does a better job handling streaming video than the UTM. for the second scenrio you'll need to setup the comcast unit in a pass-through mode and then supply third party Access points that sit on the LAN with the rest of the equipment. This process is extremely straightforward assuming the hardware of choice is compatible. Now that we’ve discussed acquiring a Sophos UTM license and downloading the ISO, it’s time for the install. Since you're new to this, I would suggest trying the Sophos XG firewall platform instead of UTM. The Sophos in this instance will act as the router so any modem unit needs to talk to the Sophos and authenticate through. UPDATE: Part 3 The Setup, Part 4 Definitions and Rules, and Part 5 SSL VPN are now available. I suggest you do your initial setup without the ASUS router connected. Here are some easy to follow instructions that I've used in the past to set it up: If I recall correctly, on UTM 9.x, pinging the gateway is turned off by default. I hope explained this clearly if you need anymore information please feel free to ask. My goal if possible is to have the network like this modem-> Dell (utm)->Asus ac87u. I am very new to this and I am obviously still learning. Do I need to go in change setting on the Asus ac87u before accessing the Webadmin interface? Before installing the UTM all Ethernet ports did work with Windows 7 professional. I have tried hooking up to the Asus ac87u and also hooking it up directly to my laptop and still nothing. I can not find the Webadmin interface on my network. For some reason I can not ping the IP that the UTM tells me to. I installed the latest version UTM v9 software appliance on the Dell (file name:asg-9505-4.1iso) I kept all the setting the same during the install. So far my home network consist of an Asus ac87u on a gigabit cable connection. I will provide a link to the network card below. The specs on the dell, intel i5 2500, 8 gigs of ddr3 ram, on board intel nic and I also bought an Intel pro/1000 pt dual port server adapter off of Amazon. I bought an old lab computer that is a Dell Optiplex 990.
