FOR SALE: pfSense four-port Gigabit router/firewall on Sophos XG 105 rev 2 hardware.

Sophos XG 105 has been out of support with the manufacturer since August 2022. This means that Sophos no longer provides software updates for this device and the device no longer works with Sophos services. However, the hardware is still capable (and very similar to the XG 106 and the XG 115, which are supported until 2025). To decouple the device from the manufacturer’s licensing and services, we installed and configured pfSense, an open-source operating system for networking equipment.

To test the device and make port functions consistent with on-device labeling, we made a few changes to the initial pfSense configuration. A detailed configuration note will be provided to the buyer. Alternatively, the buyer could simply reset pfSense to its initial state.

The device runs on an Intel Atom E3826 processor with 2 GB of RAM and a 64 GB SSD. The processor supports AES-NI crypto. Networking is handled by an Intel i211 network interface card.

The device is implemented in a desktop form factor. The case is all metal and exceptionally rigid. There are four Gigabit ports.

The device is passively cooled and completely silent.

The device is in good physical condition, with minor scratching consistent with normal use (please review the photos; note that we are running a series of listings for identical devices, so we photographed the device that, in our opinion, is in the worst cosmetic condition of all devices in the lot; in short, if you’re reading this, you will receive a device in a condition better than pictured). 

If you're interested in purchasing multiple devices of this model, please send us a message.

A power supply unit with a threaded coupling (no more accidental unplugging!) is included.
