Want to buy SG105 for home use - licensing and support?

As the title says - I want to get a firewall for my home network. I settled on SG105 appliance. Two questions - will I be able to run UTM Home (free for <50 IPs) on that appliance? And, what sort of support do I get? When stuff hits the fan - is there a phone number I can call?

Thank you,

Igor.

Hi Igor,

don't buy a SG105 for home use. We bougth one for the daugther of our CEO for home use. It's monitored by our SUM. Permanently it runs out of resources.

As Bob said, try to get a non-Sophos pc (choice fanless) and install the soft-appliance on that.

Viele Grüße / Best Regards,
Manu

I agree with the consensus of not running Sophos Home on Sophos hardware.

If you're looking for something reasonably powerful, but in a small, efficient form factor, check out a micro-PC.

I'm running Sophos Home on this:

I threw in a 120GB SSD and 8GB of RAM and it runs like a champ.
