hi community,
i have a vodafone station wlan router/ modem and want to setup a spare pc in order to run sophos xg home.
is there a possibility to run the sophos xg parallel (behind) the wlan router in order not to change the wlan router settings?
i would prefer not to change the wlan router into bridge mode, but let it run as my wlan router and connect my wlan devices to that wlan router.
how would i implement the sophos xg? i can setup it into bridge mode, but i do not want to set up another wlan access point behind the sophos xg.
can i setup the sophos xg so that i intercepts the traffic in bridge mode, whilst the wlan devices keep connecting to the wlan router? or is that not possible?
setup:
wlan router/modem lan port <-- sophos xg (bridge mode?)
^
| wlan devices
or do i have to change it to:
router/modem lan port (deactivate wlan) <-- sophos xg (bridge mode?) --> spare wlan ap <-- wlan devices
i want to use the sophos for web filtering and firewall
Hi.
If you want to use the web filtering, then you need to use Sophos Firewall as gateway mode and there's no need to change settings on your wlan-router the diagram will be something like this:
And make things like configure web policy and add it to a Firewall rule, setting DHCP on Interface configured to WIFI zone, and stuff like that.
