How To Create vLANs, Firewall Rules, Port Forwards, Dynamic DNS, Traffic Inspection And More!
Firewalls are often the first line of defence for Homelabs, and a critical component of Enbterprise security architecture. In this video I cover some of basic features of firewalls including how to create vLANs, firewall rules, DHCP leases, static IPs, and dynamic DNS.

Hi Jim, I had downloaded Sophos XG for some time and had not yet installed it as a vm.
Time has come!
As usual….thank you!
Really good tutorial! I learn something new "Promiscuous mode" that I wasn't aware! Thanks Jim 🙂
Hi Jim, Sophos XG is awesome. I find special functions compared to other systems (e.g. the opnsense) are the application filters, the web policies and the real-time log viewer. Unfortunately, Sophos has still not managed to integrate a full-fledged DNS server. This is where opnsense scores. Thank you for this detailed video.
I see a port configured for Factorio. One question: does it help to make even more Green, Red or Blue Circuits? 🤪
Is it possible to use dynamic dns behind CGNAT?
How does Sophos XG home compare to pfsense/OPNsense and can it be run in a VM with 2 physical NICs?
Hey James, thanks for the video.
Sophos only hardware? Maybe for home user – virtual mashine?
Perfect timing, just watched your previous FW vids and got the bits to build one. Thanks Jim!
