CISCO AnyConnect VPN Client

For linux, an alternative is using OpenVPN.

The 32-bit version installs okay on a 32-bit linux machine.

The 64 bit linux version does not work - connection gives error message.

To install the 32-bit version on a 64-bit linux machine, you need to do the following:

yum install libxml++.i686 atk.i686 gtk2.i686

Then when starting the vpn /opt/cisco/vpn/bin/vpnui you will still get some error messages going by but it works.

Note that after a new kernel install, you need to do the following:

cd vpnclient
./vpn_install
cd /opt/cisco-vpnclient/bin/
ll
chmod 4111 cvpnd
ll
/etc/init.d/vpnclient_init restart
