Sophos implemented Captcha on the Admin login and User Portal for both WAN and VPN

While it makes sense for the WAN, for the VPN, some (in fact a lot!) think it is overkill.

Here is how to turn it off

Access the command line (CONSOLE)  via Putty (preferred) or via the Admin Tab on the gui (does not appear if youare accessing ia a VPN)

Choose 4. Device Console

Enter this command

system captcha_authentication_VPN disable

to exit, enter:  exit  then 0
