Hi everyone
I plan to migrate from a bare-metal installation to a virtual one. I could use a bare-metal virtualizer as ESXi and set-up Sophos UTM in a VM there. As far as I read this seems to work flawlessly. However, this set-up brings some other, non UTM-related, complications with it. For me it might be easier to set-up a Ubuntu desktop and run virtualbox or KVM on Ubuntu.
But can Sophos UTM be running in a virtualbox AND protect its host (Ubuntu desktop)? I thought about passing through all the NICs to the VM and setting one of the internal NICs to bridged mode. Or can I create something like a vNIC which is shared between the host and UTM?
I know the ESXi-version was preferred UTM-wise, but the Ubuntu-Desktop-version comes with its own benefits. I just don't know if I still be able to protect the host itself via UTM.
Any experiences with that? Thank you very much in advance. :)
