Configuring SOTI VPN Clients

About this task

After setting up your SOTI Virtual Private Network (VPN) servers (see Configuring SOTI VPN Server Settings), deploy the SOTI VPN client application and its configuration settings.

Important: Deploying the SOTI VPN client application is not required for your Windows Modern devices as SOTI MobiControl installs VPN client services with the SOTI MobiControl Windows Modern device agent.

Note: SOTI MobiControl supports configuring SOTI VPN client services for the following devices.

Android Work Managed devices running OS 8 or later with a device agent version of 2024.1.2 or later.
Android Corporate Owned Personal Enabled (COPE) devices running Android OS 11 or later with a device agent version of 2024.1.2 or later.
Android Work Profile devices running OS 8 or later with a device agent version of 2024.1.2 or later.
Hyper V or Windows Modern devices with Network Address Translation (NAT) enabled and .NET framework 4.8 installed.

Procedure

Deploy the client application using a package (see Using Packages), or using an app policy (see Using App Policies).
Create a profile (see Creating a Profile), with the SOTI VPN payload and assign it to your client devices (see Assigning a Profile).

Important: Selecting the wrong platform causes your devices to not get targeted when assigning the configuration.
