    Hi Khaled, Thanks for reaching out to Sophos Community.

    You can connect SSL VPN on Linux using OpenVPN in the command-line.

    We have an article that you can refer: https://support.sophos.com/support/s/article/KB-000036417?language=en_US. This article references the method in Ubuntu but it can be followed for any Linux Distro with Openvpn package installed.

    However, If you still want to use it through the by default system configuration prompt then you can follow this method.


    ==> Note that it's just a workaround in case if you don't want to use the terminal to connect SSL VPN and this was only tested on Ubuntu 20.04. 

    1. Download the Config file for Andoird/iOS



    2. Open Settings > Network > VPN, click the + icon to add the VPN connection, and select "Import from file"



    3. Fill in the username/password and click Add to save the connection. (It'll automatically fetch CA, cert and Priv key along with other configs)






    Hope this helps :)
