  • will logon scripts run now automatically upon connection?

  • We had an issue with telework users not getting regular GP Updates with the old client. To fix this I created a batch file that would auto run the gpupdate on startup of the VPN, but cannot seem to find any documentation on how to do this with the new client. Can someone point me to documentation that explains how to run the update automatically when users connect to the vpn?

    I have the same problem....SSL VPN with authentication error.

    Same profile with OpenVPN, works totally fine.......

    I had to roolback the Sophos Connect version as. I have more than 20 VPN profiles and I can't be in this situation.....

    Greetings from Spain ;)

  • I foud a bug in version 2.2.75.0506. Sophos Connect does not end VPN SSL connections to XG firewall (SFOS 19.0.1 MR-1-Build365). SSL VPN session is completed on XG only after about 5 min for some timeout. Native OpenVPN client (2.5.7) works fine.

    It's really annoying that the installer doesn't update existing versions, that seems like quite an oversight to me.  We don't have anything like SCCM so have just finished manually installing 2.1 on 100 laptops.  Now we need to start again (a real challenge with everyone working remotely and not having admin credentials).

    Maybe I could write a script to uninstall the old version first, then install the new one...

    A number of users have issues with connectivity using 2.1; they authenticate fine, and can ping their VPN IP, but various applications just don't work until they disconnect and reconnect a few times.  Hopefully 2.2 will fix that.
