Alternative SSL-VPN-Clients? (NOT Sophos)

thtran
Hello,

AFAIK, the Sophos SSL-VPN-Client has problems under Windows 7 to set routes reliably after sucessfully establishing the VPN-connection with the VPN-Gateway (tested with Sophos UTM9-Gateway in January or February). 
AFAIK, this problem does not occur if the user has admin-rights on his workstation.

I've seen this bug since (approx.) 2009, under Windows XP. Later, my colleagues (IT-department) suffered from this bug under Windows 7.

The version of the Sophos SSL-VPN-client from the beginning of this year caused blue screens on my WinXP-Laptop (no admin rights).

I'm giving up on this piece of software. Which other SSL-VPN-client would you recommend?

    SSL VPN is based on OpenVPN, so you can basically use every OpenVPN Client. But afaik they all (also the Sophos Client) base on the native OpenVPN Client.

    I'm hoping someone can recommend a certain VPN-client so I don't have to test them all .... [8-)]

    I've seen no issues with the Sophos SSL VPN Client since Version 9 came out, they fixed the SSL VPN client issue.  Try running 9.104.
