      Sophos UTM

      How do you like the Sophos UTM? I was thinking about trying it out 🙂

        A few of my clients use it. Works great. It's at the top of the list as far as UTMs go IMO. Miles ahead of SonicWall. For an all-in-one solution it fits the bill. I normally just use my ERL but can switch to the VM for testing if need be.

          Dell 2950 running vmware esxi, with 2 guests at the moment (2008 AD server and a plex server on linux). The rest is boring network equipment.

            @hobbit666 Ahhhhh, OK 🙂 I host my personal site on, etc - so I figure that saves me $5/10 a month 🙂

            Does it though? How much are you paying in power and cooling to have the sever at home?

                Not really a lab. Just Plex and a Nginx proxy I was testing something with and was too lazy to connect to my hyper-v systems in the colo.

                  I wonder if it would be possible to connect all the PLEX systems together for one massive library.

                      Orrrr.... a vultr based file share where we all upload and mount? I don't know how much vultr charges for storage.

                        I just feel like that may be going into a legal territory no one really wants to go.

                                  Don't have a home lab anymore 😞

                                    Exactly! If you want to talk about Plex, feel free, but please start a new topic 😉

                                      Are you using qcow2 or raw for your Windows 10 VM?

                                          @hobbit666 I am using Wholesale Internet and Proxmox VE 5.0 - Just $30 a month.

                                          I can write up a short how-to if you interested.

                                          I'm shocked you haven't received a tongue lashing from @scottalanmiller for running Proxmox !
