Sophos Utm 220 Pfsense
My Router is better than yours! SophosThis was a live podcast discussing these two products. It's not a review or an in depth look. Sophos UTM and pfSense aren't even playing the same sport when it comes to out-of-the-box functionality. UTM will blow its doors off with a cleaner interface and point-and-click for almost everything. Enabling Snort (at least, what I understand is a Snort backend) on UTM is a single toggle switch. With pfSense, it's a much more in-depth config. Install pfSense on a Sophos appliance? I know this is probably a bit out of the ordinary, I'm wondering if anyone has installed pfSense on a Sophos hardware appliance. It looks like I'll have a SG210 surplus to requirements, as the license for it is pretty close to the same price as a new appliance and license. PfSense is a free, open source customized distribution of FreeBSD tailored for use as a firewall and router. In addition to being a powerful, flexible firewalling and routing platform, it includes a long list of related features and a package system allowing further expandability without adding bloat and potential security vulnerabilities to the base distribution. PfSense is a popular project.

My go to firewall when one is needed. No muss or fuss when compared to a Cisco, Juniper or other less worth while competitors... The stability longevity and overall security of these systems (when you know what your doing) is second to none. Every system update adds another fix or feature with no empty mess in between. Every iteration makes things more and more useful and simple for the most part! Hard to get any better QoS control than the traffic shaping tab in PFS. Will run on just about anything, and if you have a gig card n it, game over you just got a firewall that is unbeatable, and unless you break it yourself, hardware failure is going to be your only down time!
