One of the great benefits deploying Sophos UTM in your home network is the ability to configure a VPN with incredible ease. For those that are unfamiliar, a VPN (stands for Virtual Private Network) enables you to access your home network from anywhere in the world as long as you have an internet connection.

This can be useful for many reasons. Here are a few: VPN Benefits • The ability to access internal devices at home without opening up your firewall (Remote Desktop or VNC, for example) • Encrypting your traffic so it cannot be intercepted and manipulated (While in an airport or a coffee shop, for example) • Making your online presence appear in a location other than your current one (Some use this to access Netflix and other services from outside the U.S.) There are many different types of VPNs (IPSec, L2TP over IPSec, PPTP etc), where the difference is encryption patterns. Here I’ll explain how to set up an SSL VPN specifically.

One benefit that makes an SSL VPN especially useful is the convenience of availability. Most VPN encryption protocols require specific ports to be open in order to work. For example, if you’re at work and try to connect to a PPTP VPN, it won’t work because your company has not opened up port 1723 (the port PPTP uses) on their network. Generally, enterprises will not poke holes in their firewall for you to access an external VPN.

SSL VPN uses port 443 for encryption just like all secure websites (those with “http s://” in front of them). The only way to block an SSL VPN is to block port 443, and considering that for secure transfer, it is not likely to be blocked. This guide takes you through setting up a Sophos UTM SSL VPN in 7 simple steps! Adobe acrobat xi pro 11 full serial number keygen generator adobe 10. Set up Users If you haven’t already set up users on your network, you will need to implement at least one.

You will use this user to access the User Portal, which will be discussed later. As you can see, I create two users for this purpose. This simplifies configuration on the client end. Configure “lanssl” as a user, and “wanssl” as another user.

These names will come to make sense in step 2. Configure SSL VPN Here we will configure the actual Sophos UTM SSL VPN service. We will create two profiles where each of the previous two users (lanssl, and wanssl) will be used. “lanssl” will be the profile used to simply access devices on our local network from an external location. “wanssl” will be used to access our local network, plus the Internet through our SSL VPN. Here are the reasons we have both: Lanssl purposes: • Connect only to our local network • Do not backhaul web browsing traffic through Sophos UTM (this will not fulfil the purpose of encrypting Internet traffic) Wanssl purposes: • Change online presence to the location of our Sophos UTM • Encrypt all web browsing through Sophos UTM in public locations (this will slow browsing depending on your speeds) • Access services like Netflix outside of U.S. *If you don’t wish to have two different types of VPNs, then you can simply enter a user here.

For example, I could drag “Ethan” into “Users and Groups” and log in remotely using my user credentials. You could then omit the creation of “lanssl” and “wanssl” as users. Configure “lanssl”. Here we place “Any” into the Local Network box.

This tells the profile to take all traffic back through the Sophos UTM. *On both configurations ensure the Automatic Firewall Rules option is selected.

Configure Masquerading Rule A masquerading rule simply takes your private IP addresses that you use on your local network and disguises or masquerades them behind your public IP address. To configure the rule: • Go to Network Protection NAT • Under Masquerading select New Masquerading Rule • Set Network to Any and Interface to External (WAN). Set Up Dynamic DNS Name One important factor when using a VPN is that your device knows where to locate your VPN Server from a global perspective. In order for your UTM to configure the VPN profile correctly, it needs to know a “name” for your external IP address. The easiest way to do this is to configure a Dynamic DNS name.
