Sophos Connect Windows on ARM CPU support

Testing Microsoft Copilot+ Windows 11 laptops based on Qualcomm Snapdragon ARM CPU - Lenovo ThinkPad T14s G6 snapdragon in my case. I have seen old forums mention that ARM support was in the backlog for Sophos Connect. I suspect this question will come up a bit more in the near future with this new architecture so would suggest Sophos revisits this topic.

I'll be looking at work-around solutions, but haven't started on that yet. If anyone has suggestions let me know. I'll post back here with what I find that works.

Using Sophos Connect SSL VPN to connect to XGS 2100 running v20.0.1.

Thanks for the links to official documents Vivek, but this info just verifies my problem that Windows (ARM) is not supported.

Any info on a work around solution, or information on if and when Sophos will support Windows (ARM)?

Thanks for the suggestion. This approach of using OpenVPN Community Client with the .ovpn file worked fine.

I like the Sophos Connect client better as we can configure to save username/password and have a separate field for the OTP. Easier than combining password + OTP in the same field, but not the end of the world as this is only impacting a few users at this time.
