HomeLab - Sophos XG SSL VPN and Comcast
Ugh... Comcast.
This sucked particularly much as this was my first attempt to configure a VPN back to my HomeLab and therefore was not sure what options I should have *known* would work. Anywho...
Sophos SSL VPN uses 8443 by default. I spent a few hours trying to get through the config on the Sophos and my Linux client. Nothing was working.
For giggles I changed the Sophos to use 443, and then updated my client on my Linux workstation. And suddenly it all works. Fowk. Tried 8443 again. No love.
I don't want to utilize port 443 as I intend to actually host some web apps for testing.
So, I have finalized on an "alternate" port which had to be configured on both the Sophos and the Linux client.
I'l be doing a better write-up about this later. I still need to figure out how to configure all this via the Gnome Network-Manager GUI.
