      As title suggests, I wonder if it's feasible to install pfSense on Sophos XG 550 rev. 2

      Cheers,

            Looks like it's x86. Unless it's got some boot restriction I'd expect to be able to run pfSense on there. It looks like a hungry beast though if you plan to run it 24/7!

              @Aggregating_Netgator I have it running well on a Sophos XG 230 Rev 2, so I expect it should be pretty good.

              I'm running pfsense +

                  My bad. I just noticed its rev.2 which is x86 based.

                    Agreed, that will be juicy on power to run.

                    What are the requirements?
