Cisco Anyconnect Download Ubuntu



Cisco AnyConnect VPN software allows remote users and employees to securely connect to a Cisco VPN gateway running in an enterprise environment..

Just disable the Firefox Iced Tea web plugin and go to your VPN site. Have Ubuntu download the VPN installer and run the shell script. In my case Cisco Anyconnect VPN client was installed and available under the Internet section and works fine. One of my favorite applications to bypass filter is Cisco AnyConnect. I like it because it relays traffic between clients and servers like OpenSSH and HTTPS. In this way, the government can't distinguish between Anyconnect traffic and HTTPS, as a result, they can't block AnyConnect traffic unless they block all HTTPS traffic. To access the AnyConnect app, click on the start icon (appears as nine dots on the lower left corner). Choose the Cisco Anyconnect app. Alternatively, press Super+A (Super key is the windows icon key) on your keyboard to bring up the search bar. Start typing 'Anyconnect' and the app will appear. Step 2 Click on the AnyConnect Secure Mobility.

Employees use Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client to establish connectivity to a Cisco SSL VPN server, and if authentication is approved, the connected users or employees are grant access to internal resources..
