Hi Firewall Geniuses,
i want to learn about sophos firewall for a project.
I need to setup my UTM firewall and make an site-to-site (SSL) connection to another network.
I have bought/rented a static IP Adress from my provider.
My setup is as follows:
Router:
Alcatel Linkhub Hh40v 4G Wlan Router
Firewall:
PC with 2 network-cards (Sophos UTM Home installed)
- eth0: internal
- eth1: external
Connection:
Router with SIM-Card -> Firewall -> direct connection to PC
(might be purchasing a switch later this week)
-----------------------------------------------------------
My Questions:
First Steps:
1) - Should the Hostname be the external static IP-Adress that my provider gave me?
2) - Do i have to connect the Firewall to the WAN Port on the Router?
(the Router has 2 Ports: WAN-Port and LAN1 Port)
3) - Do i have to set the eth1 as Internet Uplink (WAN)?
- What do i have to enter at "Internet uplink type"?
- Should i enter my external static IP-Adress, Subnet-Mask and DNS from my Provider?
For a Pro these will be easy questions, like i said i am learning and i need a functioning base to get
this started.
All help is appreciated!
Thank you!
