Connecting to Windows PC that uses Sophos Connect

Tthehobbet · 25 Jan

Good day everyone,

I've been using Solus as my main home computer for nearly 6 years now, and I've generally found it really easy to use. The problem I've encounter, and have been unable to figure out by searching this and other forums. Is how to set up my home computer to remote into my work computer. Specifically as my employers use Sophos Connect to enable remote work. The Sophos Connect Client only supports Windows and Mac, I don't use either at home, and therefore the IT support at work is mostly refusing to help me figure this out.

Ultimately what I think I need to know, is what key/file/information do I need them to provide so that I can configure my home client (Strongswan from the repo).

Any help is greatly appreciated.

A little search lead me to this article https://techbast.com/2023/04/sophos-firewall-how-to-install-ssl-vpn-client-on-ubuntu.html

You probably already see it, and I never use any of this so it might not works. Cheers!

Thanks, unfortunately I forgot to mention that the IT support at my work place have for whatever reason settled on IPSec instead of SSL for VPN connections to the office.
