Sophos Connect v1.3 early release

Hey Everyone,

 

I'm happy to announce that Sophos Connect v1.3 is available for testing! While Sophos Connect as a whole, is still considered EAP, this is because the overall VPN management experience is not yet to the level we want. The VPN client binaries, are otherwise release quality. That said, the binaries being made available here for testing are an early access (EAP) release. 

 

Features

  • Multiple Language support
  • Official support for connections to UTM9
  • Add ability to run domain logon scripts after the tunnel is established
  • Configure connection-specific DNS Suffix for the TAP adapter if configured via Sophos Connect Admin or pushed via UTM Policy
  • Update CLI command to modify gateway and clear credentials in testing/staging setups

  • I agree, although I did manage to figure it out in about 5 minutes.

     

    is there any idea when this will be released officially?
