This means they require more frequent maintenance than other certificates, which often have a duration of 12, 24, or 36 months.<\/p>\n<p>Fortunately, Sophos Firewall helps overcome this issue with support for auto-renewal 30 days prior to expiry.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_957376\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-957376\" style=\"width: 1430px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/news.sophos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/LetsEncrypt.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-957376 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/news.sophos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/LetsEncrypt.png\" alt=\"LetsEncrypt\" width=\"1430\" height=\"672\" srcset=\"https:\/\/news.sophos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/LetsEncrypt.png 1430w, https:\/\/news.sophos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/LetsEncrypt.png?resize=300,141 300w, https:\/\/news.sophos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/LetsEncrypt.png?resize=768,361 768w, https:\/\/news.sophos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/LetsEncrypt.png?resize=1024,481 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1430px) 100vw, 1430px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-957376\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Let\u2019s Encrypt certificates are now available along with your other certificates in Sophos Firewall.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Let\u2019s Encrypt certificates are supported for a broad range of firewall services:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Web Admin Console<\/li>\n<li>WAF<\/li>\n<li>Email SMTP TLS<\/li>\n<li>Hotspot sign-in pages<\/li>\n<li>Portals for: User, Captive, VPN, and SPX<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Let\u2019s Encrypt certificates are not supported for remote access VPN, site-to-site VPN, or the Chromebook SSO authentication service.<\/p>\n<p>Watch this short demo video to see how it works and how to set it up:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/techvids.sophos.com\/watch\/guYyvqKk6ciCkG1A2eHXoR\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-957377 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/news.sophos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/LE-Video.png\" alt=\"LE-Video\" width=\"966\" height=\"545\" srcset=\"https:\/\/news.sophos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/LE-Video.png 966w, https:\/\/news.sophos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/LE-Video.png?resize=300,169 300w, https:\/\/news.sophos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/LE-Video.png?resize=768,433 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 966px) 100vw, 966px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>For more information, consult the <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.sophos.com\/nsg\/sophos-firewall\/21.0\/help\/en-us\/webhelp\/onlinehelp\/AdministratorHelp\/Certificates\/LetsEncrypt\/index.html\">online documentation<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Start taking advantage of this great new capability in Sophos Firewall v21 by participating in the <a href=\"https:\/\/events.sophos.com\/events\/9496899a-0e84-4fa3-9d8a-07f23841dc1c\">Early Access Program<\/a>.
