    This feature has been released as part of UTM 9.1. Enjoy! We have added support for the new OpenVPN Android (and IOS) client. You can download their free client from the marketplace and connect to your UTM with it!

    After installing the client on your phone, visit the UserPortal and use the new installer on the remote access tab under SSL VPN.

        Alex, there are two "tls-remote" lines. First: ' tls-remote "/C=de/L=M_xC3_xBCnchen/O=TEST_Company_GmbH/CN=Sophos-UTM1.internal.company.de/emailAddress=admin@company.de" ' Second: ' tls-remote "C=de, L=München, O=TEST Company GmbH, CN=Sophos-UTM1.internal.company.de, emailAddress=admin@company.de" '

        First one is enabled by default. second disabled. If a enable the second and disable the first one, i still get the same error. have you changed anything else or could this be a Problem of the special character(umlaut) ü in location?

        Stefan, use option for openvpn-2.3 or later in *.ovpn file (part of Sophos SSL VPN Client file)

        HI Alex, how to choose right setting for tls-remote name of the server certificate?
        I get eroor "OpenVPN server certificate verification failed: PolarSSl: SSl read error: X509 - Certificate verification Failed, e.g. CRL, CA or signature check failed." when trying to connect

        I use OpenVPN for Android (now v.0.5.31) with Android 4.1.1 on Galaxy Note 2 with UTM9. Works fine. Almost easy to setup using Sophos SSL VPN Client file with .ovpn and certificate files.Only need to choose right setting for tls-remote name of the server certificate.
        Pros
        1. Reconnect on network changes and reboots
        2. Password can be saved in a profile or queried on demand
        3. Flexible settings
        Cons
        1. Named OpenVPN for Android
        2. Doesn't require to lock phone screen (more convenient to use phone but bad from security point of view)
        3. By default show log window (not for everyday user)
        It will be hard to convince enterprise IT to use it.
        We need Sophos SSL VPN Client for Sophos UTM

        Give us a native astaro VPN client for Android OS, now.
        We have the year 2013, we are flying To the Mars with robots and other things.
        But we dont have a Sophos UTM Android VPN Client.

        Android hits 75% market share! It's time to move forward

        How much longer before Astaro catches up with the rest of the vendors in offering this client?
