Change SSH default port in Sophos XGS

Antonio Ferreira1

Hi Experts. 

I'm willing to know if It is possible to change SSH default port to other than port 22 (port range available is 1:65535). The reason is to increase security on SSH access.

In Sophos UTM Firewall this change is very simple to do (Management>Shell Access>SSH Daemon Listen Port (box "port number" and apply), but in Sophos XGS I did not find any related configuration.

My system is: Sophos XGS 3300 appliance, SFOS 20.0.1 MR-1-Build342.

Thanks a lot!

    Changing a port does not really increase the security. Port scanner will find the open port within minutes. 
    You should remove the access of SSH and limit the access via device control to only privileges networks / hosts
