: Supports native Windows ARM64 platforms alongside x64 architecture. Note that older, legacy 32-bit (x86) support is removed in version 2.50 to optimize performance and reduce vulnerability footprints.

For IT administrators managing hybrid workforces, configuring this specific client ensures streamlined deployment, robust protocol versatility, and seamless multi-factor authentication (MFA) integration.

is the endpoint software used to establish secure remote access to a Sophos Firewall. It provides a unified experience for both IPsec and SSL VPN connections, allowing users to connect to corporate resources from remote locations securely. Key Components

When we speak of the "best" iteration of the software, we are speaking of the MSI version because it minimizes the "time-to-secure." An administrator can provision a new laptop, push the Sophos Connect MSI via policy, and know that before the user even logs in, the tunnel capability is present. It turns a manual, error-prone process into a deterministic, automated workflow.

When a user imports a .pro file, the client contacts the Sophos Firewall, authenticates the user, and downloads the appropriate .scx (for IPsec) and/or .ovpn (for SSL VPN) files automatically. This streamlines updates significantly; if you change a VPN setting on the firewall, the client picks up the new configuration the next time it connects, without requiring user intervention.
