I investigated a few hours in using the latest OpenVPN client (2.6.10) instead of Sophos SSL VPN client (2.3.8). But many Sophos VPN configurations are not running in the OpenVPN client. They all stuck at step "MANAGEMENT: CMD 'hold release'". This also same with RDM 2024.1.19 und 2024.1.20. In RDM 2024.1.19 with Sophos SSL VPN client these configurations working fine. A significant difference between OpenVPN client and Sophos client is that OpenVPN is x64 and Sophos is just x86. It is not possible to install OpenVPN x86 on 64-bit Windows.

Jonathan, is it possible to make the RDM working well with Sophos SSL VPN client again? :)

Hi Jonathan,

I have Sophos SSL VPN Client 2.1 installed. The openvpn.exe in bin folder is version 2.3.8.0. The oldest version of openvpn I could find was 2.4.6 and it is released in april 2018. So, you are right, the openvpn version of Sophos SSL VPN Client should be a few days older.

I will try with a newer OpenVPN client in the next days...

Hi. I installed the new version 2024.1.20 a few minutes ago. But the "bug" with OpenVPN and Sophos VPN is more worse than before. When I start a VPN from RDM I get the message "Error: Unknown option or missing param: --command. Enter 'openvpn-gui --help' for more information." two times. The VPN client is starting without any action at the message windows correctly. But a click at the close button in the RDM for the VPN session shows the same error message two times again and nothing more happends. The VPN client is still running and connected but in RDM it is shown as closed. In attachments you can find a screenshot from the german message.

Thank you. We will be looking forward to the next update. :)

Yes, you are right. I can confirm that it works if I run RDM as an administrator.

With Chrome embedded or also external all websites are working fine. With Edge external there are no worries. Only when using Edge embedded with Sophos WebAdmin and want to use the log window it does not work. So for me it is ok to wait for a solution.

Sounds great. Thanks for your efforts.

Hi,

With Chrome it is working. But the new standard is Edge. Is there any option to use it in Edge too?

Best regards,

Hi, I am sorry to pulling up such an old thread. We have the same problem in our organisation. In the past we used most times the external browser option for website entries. Now we are switching to do open website embedded. But within the Sophos WebAdmin we have the problem that we can not open windows like the log viewer, because it is an popup windows and it is forbidden. Is there any option to allow this? I can not find in the settings. I am using version 2022.3.25.0.

Thanks for any answer.

Regards,
