SSL-VPN Assistance

innov

I am new to VPN kindly help.

I downloaded ssl-vpn.exe package from the user portal which was already setup by someone else and when I installed it on my windows machine

( C:\Program Files (x86)\Sophos\Sophos SSL VPN Client\config ) following files exist.

  • ssl-vpn config file
  • .ca security certificate 
  • .user certificate
  • .user.key certificate.

But when I create a new user under Remote Acccess-> SSL -> New Remote Access Profile  and download the .exe package from the new user portal  I get just the ssl-vpn config file but no certificates are included. 

Automatic firewall rule is enabled. When I tried to connect I get the following error:

    Hi,

     

    the log is very clear about the problem.

     

    Cannot resolve host address: test: No such host is known.

     

    I think by default the fqdn is used, at least by UTM, but you can override it. I think in the advanced settings but I'm not sure.

     

    Regards,

    Daniel

    Hi,

    By providing the public ip address in override hostname, I could connect to the network.

    The new version does not include extra certificates I think [;)]

    Thanks.

    hello I can connect to the vpn of sophos utm via ssl vpn client
but I have the following doubt
How can I get someone from the internal network to see me in the local network?
through the network environment eg

if I have a shared folder on my pc and I am connected to the vpn and I want a user from within the network to see me and access my folder, what do I have to do?

    Hi and welcome to the UTM Community!

    Do you have a firewall rule like 'Internal (Network) -> Any -> VPN Pool (SSL) : Allow'?

    Cheers - Bob
    PS The original issue above was caused by the poster failing to follow The  Zeroeth Rule in Rulz.

    Newer version incorporates the certificates into the ovpn file (look in the file and you will see them).
