Any recommendation for a cheap, small #firewall for my #homelab ? I realized I can’t control easily what goes out of my network only via DNS block lists

I just have a small Sophos Firewall at home, it does the job very well, but its a little expensive compared to free versions.
I get it for free because i do business with them.
Would you mind to elaborate a bit more about your experience witht he sophos?
I got a reused xgs115 a few months ago and I found the experience not so pleasant. The device lags a lot with the web page interface, the learning curve is steep in my opinion and I have problems to setup some services in a reliable way (they tends to hangs up, but this is perhaps my own problem)
Do you know by chance if they are able to have the Ds-lite tunnel for an ipv6 to ipv4 working?
Huh? The interface lagged? Wow, im doing remote "maintenance" on these for companies, I've never had such a problem, even with the smallest one.
The setup is a little work to get into, but Sophos does have a very good wiki for everything, the help button does actually help for them, and if not the support is always helpful even for seemingly small problems. They also have their own forum where you can get help for specific problems from the community
For the ipv6 to ipv4 problem, i doubt its capable of that, you probably need an extra system for that, i haven't run into that issues myself but i seriously doubt it, even for the bigger ones and clusters.
OK, thanks for the feedback. Perhaps I am doing something terrible wrong with it.
I will recheck the system again.
Thanks
When the interface laggs it sounds like it needs a firmware update or its just faulty as i said, I've not seen such a problem as described myself.
