Both UTM and pfSense offer DHCP to their LAN side, presented in a nice DHCP lease table. In Sophos UTM, from here you can press “Make static” and it’ll bring up the network host creation dialog with the host MAC, current IP, and hostname all pre-filled. You can assign any valid IP address to this, then save it.

  1. PfSense pfSense is an excellent firewall - It logs all of your traffic. It has packages you can install to snort bad traffic. PfSense has a tool called 'p0f' which allows.
  2. Sophos has it built in. With PFsense you'll have to tinker with radius servers to make it work. You want a VPN that easily and with a few clicks of a button works with an iPhone's native client.
  3. If i want to replace pfsense with Sophos can I follow the same instructions you have provided for pfsense creating vlans on the layer 2 switch as well as on the sophos UTM and connect them as a trunk ports. Can you please advise how to create VLANS on sophos if possible. Thank you very much for your help till date mate. Much appreciate it!!!

pfSense Appliance Guidance

The following outlines the best practices for choosing the appliance best suitable for your environment.

Feature Considerations

Most features do not factor into hardware sizing, although a few will have a significant impact on hardware utilization:

Pfsense Sophos Utm Ipsec

VPN - Heavy use of any of the VPN services included in the pfSense software will increase CPU requirements. Encrypting and decrypting traffic is CPU intensive. The number of connections is much less of a concern than the throughput required. AES-NI acceleration of IPsec significantly reduces CPU requirements on platforms that support it.

Pfsense Sophos Xg Ipsec

Captive Portal - While the primary concern is typically throughput, environments with hundreds of simultaneous captive portal users (of which there are many) will require slightly more CPU power than recommended above.

Large State Tables - State table entries require about 1 KB of RAM each. The default state table size is calculated based on 10% of the available RAM in the firewall. For example, a firewall with 1 GB of RAM will default to 100,000 states which when full would use about 100 MB of RAM. For large environments requiring state tables with several hundred thousand connections, or millions of connections, ensure adequate RAM is available.

Packages - Some of the packages increase RAM requirements significantly. Snort and ntop are two that should not be installed on a system with less than 1GB RAM.
