Sophos Firewall connecting to NordVPN

Sophos Firewall connecting to NordVPN

Hi

I'm user of Untangle at my home/homelab. I'm trying Sophos Firewall to see if i switch from Untangle to Sophos Firewall.
I'm from Brazil but i live in Canada, because of my country of origin i have to use an VPN like NordVPN to "tell" to brazilian service providers (like banks, governement sites and etc.) that "i'm in brazil".


So not having a way to connect to a VPN service like Nord VPN and route my trafic over NordVPN can be a deal breaker.


I researched and i'm not sure if its possible or not possible to do this.


Can you tell me if i can connect to an VPN service like NordVPN and route my trafic over there in Sophos Firewal?


I think i have the newest version, i started to test it yesterday.

Thanks guys.

  • Hi,

    you cannot connect your XG using a nordvpn. Nordvpn is from a pc to a nordvpn server.

  • That's not true. I mean the statement that NordVPN it's an PC to NordVPN Server.

    Many firewalls like Untangle, PFSense, OPNSense, Mikrotik and others, and routers like Linksys, Asus, Synology and many many more are capable of keeping an always on VPN tunnel with NordVPN.

    I use like this in my Untangle, I even have conditional access that route only selected traffic to NordVPN.

    I saw in the Sophos documentation that I can do a route-base VPN but I don't know if it will work with NordVPN. NordVPN supports IKEV2 and OpenVPN.

  • All of those devices allow you to install 3rd party software, sophos XG does not allow 3rd party software.
