Is TunnelBlick the only option for Mac users to connect to an XG over SSL VPN?

Hi Tommy Svensson 

[Edited - by FloSupport 12 Sep 2019]
Please see the verified answer below. Sophos Connect is supported for use on Windows and Mac clients (Microsoft Windows 7 with "Convenience rollup" (Service Pack 2) update and later, and Mac OS 10.12 and later).

Thank you for contacting us.

Unfortunately, we do not have any other option than using Tunnelblick for MAC OS.

Ok, so Tunnelblick it is then.

But when running the configuration file from Sophos User Area (other OSes), I get notifications that some command line params are not supported (LZ something). 

And I can only make the connection work if I run 2.3.18 (OpenSSL 1.0.2r), not with the default 2.4.7 or the latest 2.5. Also, I can't seem to disable sticky passwords (don't want them stored in the key ring) using the "setenv ALLOW_PASSWORD_SAVE 0" command. All this doesn't seem stable enough for me given it's the only supported option...

Or am I doing something wrong?

Hi Tommy Svensson 

I would recommend contacting our technical support team and open a support case, they will verify various parameters and will provide you solution. 

This "comp-lz" is a generic alert by Tunnelblick.

It should work, this alert is simply a "alert" and the connection should work properly.

Check out the internet, other "Users" are already complaining about this Update by Tunnelblick.

But Comp-lzo was only "deprecated" but not removed.

But keep in Mind:

we do not support the latest Tunnelblick Version.
