Please don't say that this remote access software policing a policy issue. In addition to the base needs of a firewall which I'm sure this Sophos software firewall can do well, the reason I want to use the Sophos is to block remote access applications (Teamviewer primarily, it's a threat to my network. Which is how we do things on the big complex telecom networks. Have any of you ever attempted such a configuration to combine UTM with a Mikrotik device before? Should I turn the firewall in the Mikrotik completely off and just use it as the router (dhcp server, qos, etc.) and let the Sophos UTM software firewall do it's thing as the sole perimeter firewall? In summary, separate out the firewall from the router. Then using that UTM 9 software firewall computer/device between my Internet connection and my Mikrotik router/firewall which serves DHCP, performs NAS, queuing, etc. I'm thinking of taking a mini PC and installing UTM 9 software firewall on it. I have implemented a Mikrotik RB2011 series router/firewall that works great with the exception that I have realized the Mikrotik firewall is very lacking compared to the UTM firewall that was on the old Fortinet router/firewall.
