Is it possible to have Sophos Connect & SSL VPN client coexist?

MattColford

We are planning to migrate a client over to Sophos XG from SG and the new import option with connect 2.0 is great. However, in testing it's been found that if you try to install Sophos Connect while the SSL VPN client is still installed, it just fails indicating that it must be uninstalled first. So my question is, is it possible to have both clients installed at the same time, via a command line flag or something else?

    Hi ,

    Thank you for reaching out to the Community! 

    When you try to install Sophos Connect Client, it will look for the SSL VPN client at the default install location. If the installation process finds it at the default location, it will fail until you uninstall the SSL VPN client. 

    Sophos Connect Client 2.0 also supports SSL VPN, so you do not need to have a separate SSL VPN client. 

    Check out the release note and provisioning file detail: 

    Thanks,

    Hi, I understand that, the issue is they have their existing VPN pointing to their SG firewall, so it would be an entirely new SSL VPN needed for the new XG. I may be able to pull the existing ovpn file from the vpn directory and move it into the import folder, but that's not really an ideal solution and then staff will end up with two SSL VPN profiles, one that will stop working, and one that will work after the switch.
