What Sophos Firewall gives you

Sophos Firewall is a next-generation firewall: as well as filtering by address and port it inspects traffic for intrusion attempts, identifies applications regardless of port, filters web categories and terminates VPNs — all administered from a single console with reporting attached.

Deployed as an instance in your Antyxsoft environment it becomes the controlled edge for everything behind it, so workloads sit on private networks rather than on public IPs.

Key features

  • Intrusion prevention. Signature and behaviour-based detection on traffic in both directions.
  • Application control. Identify and police applications independently of the port they use.
  • Web filtering. Category and reputation filtering with per-group policy.
  • VPN. Site-to-site and remote-access tunnels terminated at the firewall.
  • Central reporting. Traffic, threat and policy reporting from one console.

What is in the image

Operating systemSophos Firewall OS 22
ApplicationPreconfigured Sophos Firewall image
AccessWeb administration console; licence applied at first boot
Suggested sizeFrom 4 vCPU / 8 GB RAM; scale with inspected throughput

Good fit for

  • Regulated environments A documented, inspected perimeter for an audit.
  • Hybrid networks One policy across office and cloud, joined by site-to-site VPN.
  • Estate consolidation Replace scattered per-instance rules with a managed edge.

Getting started

Four steps from sign-in to a running application. The full walkthrough, with screenshots, is in the knowledge base.

  1. 01
    Log in to the Cloud Portal

    Sign in at portal.antyxsoft.io and start creating an instance, choosing the region closest to your users.

  2. 02
    At Select Template, open Marketplace App

    In the instance creation flow, switch from operating-system images to the Marketplace App tab.

  3. 03
    Pick the template and deploy

    Select the ready-to-go template, confirm the plan and region, then review and deploy. The instance boots with the application installed.

  4. 04
    Finish the application setup

    Open the administration console, apply your licence, then define zones, interfaces and the first policy set before moving workloads behind it.

Before it carries real traffic

  • Attach a Cloud Firewall that opens only the ports this application needs, with management access limited to your own addresses.
  • Schedule backups covering both the database and the application's data directory.
  • Add a Block Storage volume for data that will outgrow the instance disk.
  • Put it inside a VPC when it needs private access to other services.

Support

Antyxsoft supports the image and the infrastructure it runs on. Application-level questions are also covered by the upstream project's own documentation and community.

What is covered

Antyxsoft covers

The image itself, deployment problems, the instance, storage, network and platform availability.

You control

Configuration, add-ons, content, application updates and anything you change inside the guest.

Need it managed?

Ask about managed operations — updates, monitoring and backup handled for you.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a Sophos licence?
Yes. The image deploys the firewall; the licence is applied at first boot and can be your own or arranged through Antyxsoft.
What size instance does it need?
Start at four virtual CPUs and 8 GB of memory. Inspected throughput drives sizing — deep packet inspection and TLS inspection cost considerably more than plain filtering.
Can it join our office network?
Yes. Site-to-site VPN terminates on the firewall, so the cloud environment and the office sit under one policy.
