Circumventing processor throughput limitation on UTM using DMZ?

Steve Garson1

I have a home office with a SG-105.  After recently upgrading to a 1Gbps broadband circuit, I am trying to figure out how to use that bandwidth for my home purposes, without the limitations of the UTM.  

If I configure a port for a DMZ, can I shut off packet inspection for that port and then have access to the full internet bandwidth, understanding that I won't have security on that port?  Or will the throughput limitation of this sized UTM still apply?

Thanks for any input on this subject.

Steve

    Hey Steve - welcome to the UTM Community!

    Let me add my voice to Emile's...

    I never recommend Sophos appliances for home users.  If I were you, I would buy/make a PC with at least a 3+GHz quad-core CPU and 8MB of RAM.  You 'll be able to restore your existing configuration to the new device.  Once you have your new UTM running, sell that 105.

    Cheers - Bob

    Bob:  Which type of Linux would I install?

    You're right that an appliance license won't work on your own computer, Steve.  If you're not running a business out of your home where you're using the UTM to protect your business, you can use the free home-use license.  If you are using this with business uses, send me a PM.

    Cheers - Bob

    Hi,

    you don't install linux, just the SG from the ISO disk.

    Turns out that he does run a business out of his home.  In an exchange of PMs, I commented that the 105 was right for his business (includes Sophos Support!) and that the free home-use license could be put on a beefier computer so that non-business computers could take advantage of the Gb connection.
