=====PC Engines APU2 - Sophos UTM 9 Free Home=====
This how-to was made using the following items:
  * PCEngines APU2 board.
  * 16GB SSD (64GB would be better).
  * USB Drive (USB2 installation media).
  * USB Keyboard (only for installation).
  * Sophos UTM 9 (asg-9.506-2.1) ISO.
  * Network connected to first interface (next to serial port).

Lessons learned:
  * Install is a bit difficult.
  * Snort takes a lot of CPU (>90% on a single thread), during a speedtest download speed is now around 50mbit instead of 120. Intrusion Prevention active with 1718 of 31918 patterns.
