Loosing Network Connection on Mac since Endpoint Version 10.0.3

  • Feature: Network connection
  • Severity: high.
  • Summary: Mac looses network connection temporary

  • Observed behavior: 

    All Mac Clients in the BigSure EAP reporting network issues since version 10.0.3 turned up. Either connected via Wifi or LAN Cable they are loosing Network sporadically. I found out that complete uninstall of Sophos Endpoint fixes this error. For example my Mac is connected to the company by a Sophos UTM SSL VPN. When calling a internal webinterface via Browser the VPN connection gets killed immediately. If you need more Information just ask. I also have generated a SDU Report on my Mac.
  • Reproduce it: calling an internal http webinterface inside our network
  • Frequency: Every time
  • Environment: macbook pro connected by wire to a LAN or Wifi behind a sophos UTM
  • Other: Nothing more
  • Supporting logs, tool output etc: there is an SDU archive and the output from systemextensionsctl is attached

  • Jan, the issue you have reported here was reported by a number of other people as the latest iteration of Sophos for BigSur is clashing with various VPN's. I have the same thing on Zscaler and you can see other discussions on Cisco and so on. I was checking the discussion to see if there is any update on my issues and stumbled across your post and decided to post this response.

  • Dear Nicholas,

    thanks for your reply and confirmation of the issue.

    For me it seems, its not just interrupting the VPN. Today i am in the office and connected via LAN cable to the company LAN without VPN Client. If i call an internal webinterface thats routed to a different subnet inside the company by a Sophos UTM I loose my network connection for a short time.

    I also contacted sophos support, but as this is an EAP they told me to write about my issue in this community.
