Stage 1: Locating the VPN Client
1) In some case in may be possible to find the VPN client very quickly by looking in the system icon tray in the bottom right of your screen. Simply click on the upwards arrow near to the time and date and you VPN icon may be available here.
2) If your VPN client is not available in the system icon tray then click on the Windows button in the bottom left of your screen and type “VPN”. This will bring up the VPN client installed on your device, in our example Sophos SSL VPN Client. Click on this icon.
