how to access sophos xg 135 using a browser remotely

Question

Hi All, 
 My old firewall, I could access it using only the browser by typing "remote.domain.com:444" 
 I want to know how can I setup my sophos to be accessed the same way on the browser? 
 Please assist, much help appreciated.

 I'm very new to XG but rather familiar with UTM, in UTM there is an option to enter "allowed" IPs that are able to connect to webadmin from external without making a VPN-connection. Is there still a possibility to do the same for XG or is it just all or nothing from WAN?

Under the Administration > Device Access you can use ACL Exception Rule to allow Webadmin page from only allowed IP. Allowing Web Interface from WAN is not a best practice.

Jan, 
 Web Admin is disabled by default on WAN zone. Go to Administration > Device Access and enable WebAdmin on WAN zone. 
 Remember that allowing WebAdmin from WAN can be risky. Use a VPN instead. 
 Thanks
