[QUOTE="woodrowbone, post: 916834, member: 1062"] Hi guys, For the last month now I have been running the Sophos XG in bridge mode behind a ASUS RT-AC86U. The setup is bit tricky, the config even more so, but as soon as you get their way of thinking it gets easier. Protection wise I do not really know, it is not like you can find homepages out there containing malware, exploits etc that easily to test with. But so far I have seen blocks from both the AiProtection on the ASUS and the ATP and IDS on the XG. A strange thing happened when I tested a malware pack in the VM the other day, I just did a static scan of a lot of files, no execution, and the XG stopped a lot of connections from going out with its intrusion system. I think something in that pack must have reacted to the scan, and did some e tempts to call home, scary! But at least it shows that a having a first good line of defense is important, what ever security solution you have at your endpoints. /W [/QUOTE]
