Remote access SSL VPN with certificate only based authentication

Hello!

I know that a few years ago there was a feature request on the currently retired Sophos's ideas portal, regarding remote access SSL VPN with certificate only based authentication, for Sophos XGS firewalls. Does anybody know if it's possible right now to implement such a VPN connection?

Thanks!

  • This is a huge gap for Sophos at the moment, and one of the best ways to prevent account lock-outs on VPN connections; without certificate based authentication lots of accounts get locked out due to brute force password attacks against known user accounts.  Even with MFA account lockout is still possible.

    Many other vendors support this; it's about time Sophos adds it.  I'd love to see it as a secondary method in addition to MFA push so that we know it's the user and not someone controlling their machine with a RAT.
