Hardware for UTM home edition

I follow lots of threads of people building home grown boxes for their UTM and its a great project i would love to do, however the reality of my life at the moment is i have money but very little time.

I need a hardware solution for UTM home edition. my requirements are

- it works / tested / easy install, i don't have time to 'play' with compatibility issues

- low energy usage (Electricity is expensive here in Germany) a fanless micro pc would be great

- form factor not important (it will sit in the basement)

- 50mb connection, 4 users

is anyone using a box they could recommend?

thanks

Maybe the hardware used in this thread: https://community.sophos.com/products/unified-threat-management/f/hardware-installation-up2date-licensing/83912/new-small-passiv-home-build-utm-qotom-q190g4

I also have read a lot of good about Zotac boxes, if you search for it on the forum you should find enough information.

I've had good luck with the Qotom Q310G4 (link here) after I found a workaround for the install.

If $money > $time, then buy a Sophos appliance.

Hello, everybody,

a hardware that meets the above mentioned system requirements is in my opinion the Alix board APU2C4.
A test and how you can install the Sophos UTM Home Edition on it is described in my blog.

The hardware is described here:

Hope the articles will help new visitors find the right hardware for Sophos UTM Home Edition in the future.

Greetings Marcel
