Looking to buy the SG-105 but first I have a few questions

I'm looking to replace my current home UTM solely because I just upgraded my broadband to 200Mb/s.  I can afford the SG-105 and possibly the SG-115 but that's about it. 

1) Does the SG-105/SG-115 "base appliance" include the "Essential Firewall Edition" as described on this sophos web page? https://www.sophos.com/en-us/products/free-tools/sophos-utm-essential-firewall.aspx

2) Does the appliance utilize the internet to do anything in the background, if so, can it be turned off? I prefer full manual control, I don't like auto anything!

3) How much is the IPS license only?

4) Does it have OpenVPN capability?

5) I'm assuming the following throughput specs are independent of one another, i.e., only one of them running at any particular time, yes/no?

SG-105: 1.5 Gbps Firewall Throughput, 325 Mbps VPN Throughput, 350 Mbps IPS throughput, 90 Mbps Antivirus throughput (proxy)

SG-115: 2.3 Gbps Firewall Throughput, 425 Mbps VPN Throughput, 500 Mbps IPS throughput, 120 Mbps Antivirus throughput (proxy)

I want to achieve an absolute minimum of 200Mb/s. Do you have any thoughts on how I can achieve it with either of these two models?

6) Are firmware/OS upgrades free?

7) Port forwarding, yes/no?

8) Stealth mode, yes/no?

9) UPnP auto pass through disabled, yes/no?

10) Can the 4 ports be assigned as different interfaces, i.e., LAN, DMZ, WLAN, etc?

 

That's all I can think of for now. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

TIA!

  • Is that CPU in the SG 115 (rev 2) appliance?

     

    Also Thanks for the heads up on this quarters hardware intro.

    I'll probably just bide my time, doing more research, until they're released to make my decision.

     

    Have a good one, my friend!

  • I only use Sophos appliances or HP/IBM/Dell devices for my clients.  I've seen posts about similar things added to that thread, but I didn't have any reason to note details:  *Unofficial* Hardware Compatibility List (HCL).
