Sophos Network Extension Crashing on MacOS

Sophos User6833

We've been using Sophos with our macos fleet and have lately realized the network extension seems to be crashing a lot on macos monterey devices , and it'll bring the whole network stack with it. 

Anyone else observing similar behaviour? Any recommendations anyone has for circumventing the issues? I'm having a hard time even finding any logs for the network extension itself, but have just noticed a common theme of the users having this issue also indicating the extension is marked as not running when looking at the sophos controls on their machine.

    Hi Sophos User6833,

    Thanks for reaching out to the Sophos Community Forum. 

    I suggest checking the status of system extensions by running the following command. 
    - systemextensionsctl list 

    There is some chance that a new version of the extension may have been loaded and the old one is waiting to be cleared. If you can provide the output you receive when running this command I may be able to advise further. 

    A reboot may also help, but I suggest opening the Endpoint Self Help tool on one of the affected devices to see if there are any suggested actions present under the "Prerequisites" tab.

    Hello

    This is the output of that command

    ➜  ~ sudo systemextensionsctl list 

    Password:

    2 extension(s)

    --- com.apple.system_extension.network_extension

    enabled active teamID bundleID (version) name [state]

    * * 2H5GFH3774 com.sophos.endpoint.networkextension (10.4.0/7) networkextension [activated enabled]

    --- com.apple.system_extension.endpoint_security

    enabled active teamID bundleID (version) name [state]

    * * 2H5GFH3774 com.sophos.endpoint.scanextension (10.4.0/7) com.sophos.endpoint.scanextension [activated enabled]

     

    The perquisites tab says that the transparent proxy isn't running, clicking 'fix' doesn't seem to do anything. I'm quite certain everything is whitelisted properly on our MDM as a newly installed machine doesn't have any errors without any intervention.
