![]() Either a masq rule, an actual firewall rule, or both. ![]() If the Sophos' LAN address is configured as your gateway, and you can ping the Sophos but still can't get to the internet I'll almost bet you are just missing a firewall rule. It's been a while - but I believe the setup wizard automatically created any firewall and masq rules required for internet access to function. Inside the Sophos OS the WAN adapter is configured as the WAN, and the LAN adapter is configured as the LAN. One connected to WAN the other connection to LAN. The sophos VM has 2 network adapters on it. ![]() One virtual switch I named "WAN" that connects to nic1, and another virtual switch named "LAN" that connects to nic2. The concept is the same on both - I have two virtual switches in hyper-v. ![]() Both devices run Hyper-V Server as the base OS. I also run one at home on a little spare desktop. I guess I was just concerns with it sitting between my modem & firewall would leave the host OS exposed. I plan on spinning up multiple VM's on this host. R720 I have my hands is way over powered, but would allow me to build a VM to the max specs that Sophos allows for the home version of their firewall. Their primary purpose are virtual networks, so I don't see a reason to be worried.īojan Zajc for your reply. That you can use them as well to protect physical networks, is just a nice side-effect. Nobody can completely exclude bugs and flaws in software, but these virtual editions were built to protect the network side of different VM's you are hosting on your virtual servers. If the firewall is correctly set up (and updated), it should be able to separate all the virtual networks without any danger to the host OS. However when comparing to my Supermicro server with WatchGuard's virtual firewall, I have no limitations about using / separating any of the NIC in the virtual switch and firewall. Select Start to open the initial setup wizard and complete the basic configuration.I can't say anything about the HW limitations of a R720 combined with Sophos virtual firewall.
