Requirements

As told above, Sophos does not natively support your NICs.

What you can do is to install Proxmox on the device and install Sophos as a virtual machine on top of that. Proxmox does support the i226 nics and with 8 GB RAM you have enough to still give 6GB to your firewall which is the max for a home license.

Hi,

As I have expressed in another thread about the same mini-pc, I would be concerned about the j4125 being able to provide a 4 core XG as well as run the Proxmox VM environment. The j4125 is a 4 core 4 thread maximum CPU of 2ghz capable of bursting to 2.7ghz.

Hi

To be honest I don't want to setup the FW in a VM. I want to install it on a bare metall to avoid some possible issues and to keept the setup uncomplex.

Hi,

very few motherboards come with the non EUFI boot feature anymore.

You would need to look at a small motherboard where you can add your own NICs or buy an old XG unit from the internet and then instal the home licence on it.
