Sophos XG Home throttling bandwidth

Hi,

try after you turn off the IPS.

Ian

Turned of IPS in the firewall rule. Still only have ~240MB download.

Hi,

for home use the recommendation is the fastest CPU you can get without going above about i3, you don't need computational power. I use a XEON.

Ian

Okay, I understand. I am looking at the Intel Celeron J4125 processor.

If you wish to use your 1GB/s internet to the maximum for one user you will need lots of MHZ.

Ian

You mean the CPU? This one I'm looking at is 2.00 GHz.

Hi Robert,

yes, I mean CPU. You will also need to disable speedstep so the CPU is running at a reasonable speed when idle otherwise your throughput will suffer.

What does the CPU utilisation report when you run your tests on the existing hardware?

Ian

I have not looked at the CPU utilization report. I will have to do that later. As for disabling speedster? Is that a Sophos component in the XG software?

it was an auto correction function, speedstep in the bios.

I upgraded my Protectli Vault to the newest one, VP2410.

J4125 Quad Core up to 2.7 GHz with 8GB of RAM. I also installed a Samsung 256GB SSD.

I installed SW-18.0.1_MR-1-Build396-396 and currently have my computer connected to the LAN port and the WAN port connected to the ISP provided modem. Although I can get in to the firewall gui and make changes to the configuration, I can never get my computer to go out to the internet through the firewall. I am using it like a desktop firewall for my computer only. Any ideas as to why I have no luck getting out to the internet?

Thank you for any insight.

I found the problem with the install. I was making changes to the network configuration from the console once it booted up, instead of through the webgui. Now it is working fine.
