SSL VPN client

IT Helpdesk29

HI,

We use an SG230 firewall running Firmware version: 9.605-1.  There are firmware upgrades which I am looking into doing shortly.

 

The SSL VPN client that we download from the UserPortal shows up as version 2.1 when installing and in the control panel. When I go into the logs of the VPN, it shows as OpenVPN 2.3.8.

 

Is this the latest compatible version with our firewall? If there is a newer version, how do I get it to show in our UserPortal?

Thanks

    Hi Philipp,

    Thanks for taking the time to reply, much appreciated. 

    I am aware it is a modified version of OpenVPN, I am specifically wondering if there is an up to date version of the Sophos branded application.  We have over 100 users connecting by VPN, and if I upgrade it, would like to ensure it is downloaded from the firewall itself, as we currently do through the UserPortal.

    Thanks again.

    Hi and welcome to the UTM Community!

    Every component of the UTM is "older" code.  Instead of immediately integrating a newer version, the Sophos developers patch the existing code that they've already hardened. I feel more comfortable with the patched "older" version than the newer one directly from OpenVPN.  There are places, like my iPhone, where the only choice is the OpenVPN client, and, as Philipp says, that works perfectly.

    Cheers - Bob
