If your on a Mac and VPN to a watchguard due to the ongoing issue with IKEv2 connections for Macs running Sonoma and above kicking the user off at 24 or 48 minutes depending on the configuration within the Watchguard the workarounds are limited.

To uninstall Sophos your first point would be to see if you locate Remove Sophos Endpoint. This can be either run from launchpad or type it in spotlight.

I have found it does sometimes error out or fails but on a reboot this will tell you if you have managed to uninstall it. Help file link.

I did try it on a newish machine but when I downloaded the installer it timed out saying the OS would not be able to install. This is due to the machine being to young to run the old OS as the downloader thinks your trying to install say El Capitan to that machine which is why you need a old machine that can handle the old software.
