Hi all, I want change the Hostname to my UTM Sophos (Management, System Setting, Hostname tab), this could cause any problems with my VPN connections or anything else?

Thanks.

It will regenerate the webadmin certificate. Will affect all certificates, but is not a big deal.

Why you have to change the hostname?

I handle another 2 UTM's I want set a name with a standard format.

Then, if my VPN,s use a IP address as VPN ID type, and I am not users VPN SSL, there should not be any problems?

It will only affect if the UTM hostname is a valid address and is being used in the Override hostname of the VPN. If it is a hostname translated only for internal network, you will have no problems.
