Sophos LiveConnect is disabled

Is anyone else having issues connecting to LiveConnect? My Endpoint Protection says "Sophos LiveConnect is disabled" and I can see that the client didn't receive any policies and is not even shown in the computer management.

This is what the error log is showing:

  • Mine is back up. Hope it stays that way *knocks on wood*
  • I have the same issue. 
    Socket error when connecting to Sophos live server.

    GUI says: "Socket failed, timeout SSL error: SSL connect attempt failed with unknown error"

    Looks like it just comes and goes. Hope that this is a temporary issue.
  • I've been experiencing the same problem since updating to 9.309-3. The connection to LiveConnect has been intermittent all week long.  Hopefully Sophos will resolve this soon.
  • Same problem here on my home setup 9.309. However I have the same version on 2 other UTM's (also both 9.309 and they appear to be working at this time).
    Web filtering doesn't seem to filter like it should either.....

  • 9.310-11...

    Looking in my UTM this afternoon, "Sophos LiveConnect is disabled".

    Seriously?

  • not an issue here.. just connected as it should
    Didn't test config updates on the endpoint though
  • Any word from Sophos on this?

    Just started using Endpoint Protection on my UTM (9.3 Home) and it sporadically shows LiveConnect as Disabled

    It does seem to come back after a while and clients update
  • I've read somewhere the UTM is assigned a single server on Sophos' side.
    Being disconnected means this assigned server went down for any reason

    Strange construction if you ask me. normally a cluster would be assigned, so when a server goes down another takes over.. right??
  • I have currently the same issue. Sophos LiveConnect is disabled!
