I'm looking for a budget-friendly firewall for home use. I have a Supermicro board with four Gig Ethernet ports and IPMI support, which I bought used for about $200. I'm also using Sophos XG Firewall, but I'm not sure if that affects my options. I want to stay under $250 and don't mind searching for deals. The photos below show my current setup. Any tips or places where I might find better prices?

He often suggests this option, which offers multiple speeds and costs, and features a pleasant interface.

Can it operate with Sophos XG or is PFSense required?
