How to access sophos XG firewall with its name instead of IP address

Hello,

Thanks , got  your point.

But I need to access an internal server , so I thought I would safer to access it by name of Firewall instead of WAN IP.

Also where do change the name of the Firewall ? As I am new to this XG , earlier we  were using Cyberoam.

I've probably misunderstood, but it seems you're getting confused between internal and external DNS and their functions.

To answer your original question, you probably need to create a record with public DNS host, for whatever TLD you want the firewall to be a subdomain of.

In terms of changing the hostname of the firewall, I honestly don't think you should be playing about with the firewall and it's config if you're struggling to figure this out, sorry.

Like I said, I've probably misunderstood something here.

Hi Wayne,

I don't think you have misunderstood the thread, the last post from the user changes direction from the original request for assistance.
