Sophos OpenVPN client cannot connect
A Windows 10 client PC cannot connect to Sophos VPN server.
- Other identical Windows 10 machines on the same network can connect.
- The machine used to be able to connect
The entirety of the Sophos log is:
Tue Jan 08 13:20:27 2019 OpenVPN 2.3.8 i686-w64-mingw32 [SSL (OpenSSL)] [LZO] [IPv6] built on Jun 23 2017
Tue Jan 08 13:20:27 2019 library versions: OpenSSL 1.0.2l 25 May 2017, LZO 2.09
Enter Management Password:
Tue Jan 08 13:20:27 2019 MANAGEMENT: TCP Socket listening on [AF_INET]127.0.0.1:25340
Tue Jan 08 13:20:27 2019 Need hold release from management interface, waiting...
Steps taken
- Uninstall Sophos client software
- Network reset (Settings -> Network reset)
- Reset Windows Firewall to default (Windows Defender Firewall with Advanced Security -> Restore Default Policy)
- Turn off firewall of domain-joined PC (Windows Defender Firewall with Advanced Security -> Windows Defender Firewall Properties -> Firewall State -> Off
- Reboot
- Reinstall Sophos Client
Hint
Reinstalling the Sophos VPN Client does not:
- prompt the user to allow installation of the unsigned driver
- prompt the user for credentials
So, obviously, the Sophos VPN Uninstall feature does not uninstall Sophos VPN.
