EPX with 3rd party Firewall

Product Discussion Other Products
1

Good Evening
Would Peplink consider a 3rd Party module for the EPX e.g. a firewall vendor so that an dynamic/active firewall can be placed in one of the slots and traffic can be router through that module i.e. all traffic from LAN to WAN.
The advantage of doing it this way would be that the processing power of the firewall would not be taken form the EPX but rather supplied by the firewall module.
Could this be done via the “Docker” feature (my only thought here is it would be utilising the EPX’s resources)
Thanks

@SamuelNorris, Do you have more info for this ? Why you need to separate the firewall from EPX ? Any special requirements for this ?

Hi Sit
What I’m thinking is rather than having a separate firewall in the rack, a 3rd party active (realtime) firewall with advance features could be integrated within the EPX. I’m thinking of the firewalls like Sophos, Untangle etc
