1. Visit the VPN portal of your company by going to https://0.0.0.0:8443 or htttps://0.0.0.0:7443

(replace 0.0.0.0 with the IP address given, like https://49.21.255.29:8443.)

2. If prompted, click Advanced, then "Continue to x.x.x.x (unsafe)"

3. You should now see a screen similar to the image below. If your account has been allowed in the firewall, you can sign in here. If you can get into the VPN portal, skip to Step 6.

Username: [Username for the PC] / [Email]
Password: [Password for the PC]

Note: if you have MFA setup, you will need to enter those digits after the password from Sophos Intercept X App; Password+MFA Code, no spaces e.g.: "ClearSky654731"

If you have tried to log-in, but cannot; it may be because you have not been added to the allowed users in the firewall yet. If that is the case, please contact ABit.

4. Sometimes, you will need to generate your profile before the VPN will allow you to log-in. If that is the case, please click "Take me to User portal".
