I built a HIGH PERFORMANCE hardware Firewall! - Sophos SG 330 Rev2

I've been chasing down a performance problem with my virtual #pfSense firewall for about 6 months now with inter-VLAN routing in our #homelab. Join me as I go through the process, start to finish, troubleshooting, and ultimately somewhat fixing the issue using a modified #Sophos SG330 Rev2 firewall as my new platform for pfSense! Some mistakes were made.

In this video, we talk you along as we trouble network performance issues, choose a hardware firewall, test its performance, and upgrade it to make it (kinda) faster!
