Virtual Firewall Unlimited Cores at a Glance

Deployment

Hypervisors: VMware ESXi, Microsoft Hyper-V, KVM, and Citrix.
Cloud (BYOL): Amazon Web Services and Microsoft Azure.
Bare metal: install as a software appliance on your own Intel-based server.

Licensing

A perpetual base license covers core firewall, IPSec and SSL VPN, wireless, and Sophos Central management. Licensing is counted by vCPU cores, not per user. Since March 2025 there is no RAM cap on virtual, software, and cloud BYOL licenses, so this Unlimited Cores tier uses all the RAM you assign.

Protection

Standard Protection: Network Protection (IPS and ATP), Web Protection, and Enhanced Support.
Xstream Protection: everything in Standard plus Zero-Day Protection sandboxing, TLS 1.3 inspection, DNS Protection, and Central Orchestration for SD-WAN.

Performance & Sizing

Throughput on a virtual appliance depends on the host you give it, so we don't quote fixed numbers. Assign enough vCPU, RAM, and NIC bandwidth for your traffic, then scale up later without swapping hardware. Need a hand sizing it? Talk to a Sophos-certified rep.

Virtual Firewall Unlimited Cores FAQ

What is the difference between Standard Protection and Xstream Protection?

The base license plus Standard Protection covers the essentials: firewall, IPS, ATP, Web Protection, application control, VPN, and Enhanced Support. Xstream Protection adds the advanced layer on top, including Zero-Day Protection sandboxing, full TLS 1.3 inspection, DNS Protection, and Central Orchestration for SD-WAN. If you plan to inspect encrypted traffic or want zero-day defense, go Xstream. For straightforward perimeter security on a tighter budget, Standard does the job.

Which hypervisors and cloud platforms does the Sophos Virtual Firewall run on?

It runs on all the major hypervisors: VMware ESXi, Microsoft Hyper-V, KVM, and Citrix. For public cloud you can bring your own license to Amazon Web Services and Microsoft Azure. You can also install it as a software appliance on your own Intel-based server. Whichever route you pick, you manage it through Sophos Central alongside your other Sophos devices.

How many cores and how much RAM should I assign?

It comes down to the traffic and features you plan to run. The Unlimited Cores license lets you assign as many vCPUs and as much RAM as your host allows, so you are not boxed in. Since March 2025, Sophos removed RAM caps from all virtual, software, and cloud licenses, so this tier uses the full memory you allocate. Want a recommendation for your user count and workload? Talk to a Sophos-certified rep and we will size it with you.

Does the virtual appliance need a subscription to work, or does the base license cover everything?

The perpetual base license keeps the appliance running with core firewall, VPN, wireless, and Sophos Central management, but you will want at least Enhanced Support to receive firmware updates. To turn on IPS, web filtering, sandboxing, and the rest, you add a Standard or Xstream Protection subscription. Licensing is per appliance, not per user.

Does the Sophos Virtual Firewall support site-to-site and remote-access VPN?

Yes. The base license includes unlimited IPSec and SSL site-to-site VPN plus remote-access VPN, so you can connect branch offices and remote workers without buying separate VPN user licenses. SD-WAN and SD-RED site-to-site connectivity are included as well.

Is Firewalls.com an authorized Sophos partner?

Yes. Firewalls.com is a Sophos Platinum Partner, so you get factory-fresh licensing, certified pre-sales advice, and support from a team that works with Sophos Firewall every day. Not sure which core tier or protection bundle fits? Talk to a Sophos-certified expert before you buy.
