New Sophos Support Phone Numbers in Effect July 1st, 2023

sophos on mini pc

hello! I ve recently found about sophos xg (which will solve a problem with my network). Someone said it will block all ads on my network (which is the main issue) and proposed to run it on a "standalone" pc. Because I m really not sure yet, will it run on a mini pc with 4gb ram and 3570s processor? What shoud I look for? (they got me confused tbh). thanks in advance for any help!

  • Oh I don't have issues anymore via web pages, but the YT app itself will still allow them through, and that is a really rough thing to block because of the embedding that Google does.  It will eventually get to the point of straight up blocking anything Google, lol.  They have a filter for it in Pi-hole you can add. ;) 

    I'm actually glad that I set up Pi-hole, because I started seeing this DNS name on my local network (wpad.local.name) that I had not ever seen before or configured.  After doing some digging on this, it's best to disable any proxy settings from whatever browser is pushing that hot mess.
