We’ve created a comprehensive library of “How To” videos, including a series of Getting Started and Networking videos, to help you get the most out of your XG Firewall.
Today, I’d like to share a short Getting Started video that walks you through how to keep your XG Firewall firmware up to date, as well as how to roll back to a previous firmware version if necessary.
In this video, we’ll show you how to:
- Find out when a new firmware update is available
- Navigate to the firmware update screen
- Download and install the firmware update
- Verify the new firmware is applied after reboot
- Download and install the firmware update manually from MySophos
- Restore a previous firmware version

- So while that's fun, I just noticed that Sophos support enabled SSH over the WAN access on this XG. They did it 6 weeks ago and it's been that way until I found it yesterday. Yes, the SSH is password protected and support uses encrypted keys, but in 6 weeks they logged in via SSH 4 times.
