Is it possible to change the SSL VPN Port for Remote Access??
... and for the User Portal, too?

Yuck. Currently sitting in a hospital whose network blocks non-standard web ports (including the Sophos SSL VPN port 8443) and so I am unable to connect to my VPN.
At some later date I may try the workaround suggested by MarcBorgers but this is not ideal and I wonder whether this will disable the User Portal on port 443. (Although perhaps the solution there is to change the User Portal HTTPS port to something else, and then use 443 for the VPN using the forwarding policy?)
In any case this is a mess, and there should be a configuration option for the SSL VPN Port as well, so that admins can decide which services to expose on the standard web ports. Ideally if the User Portal and VPN can both share 443 and the software can recognize the VPN traffic and deal with it appropriately in order to distinguish it from the User Portal traffic, then both of those services can be made available to someone in my current situation.
Hi Scaledem,
indeed we have a request to make SSLVPN port changeable in our backlog. So this feature will be implemented. I am not quite sure how fast we will be able to deliver you this feature, but it is definitly planned with major priority.

Bump. The XG appliances need this feature sooner rather than later. UTM9 and SG both had the option and now we have clients complaining that the feature is missing. They are threatening to either go back to UTM9 or worse yet, move to a new vendor.
Please escalate the urgency of this request! I am also testing v16 and noticed that it hasn't made it into that update yet either.
Bump. Throwing in my request for this ASAP as well. This a pretty major requirement with more and more places locking down their networks these days.
Hi Holger,
Out of curiosity, the Cyberoam appliance had the ability to change the SSL VPN port used, do you know why was it removed in Copernicus alpha?
Many thanks,
Emile
