Cisco Anyconnect can blow me.

I go through the process of connecting to the vpn, username, password, token.

Then it has its pop up "respond to the banner to connect" and I click accept . . . and it does nothing.

So I go through the process again. And this time it says connected

But now I still can't connect to any of my companies sharepoint, SQL servers, Azure Devops, JIRA, etc

And the only solution to that is a reboot.

And this happens swear to god at least every other day.

Like good lord, if I put in my credentials and they pass authentication/authorization, let me do my goddamn work.

    Maaan, I feel you. I hate AnyConnect. No idea if It's the configuration the company did or if It's this stupid fucking software, but It's a nightmare.

    I don't have the same issue as you, but a plethora of others. It's fucking retarded

    Can you connect with OpenConnect (free implementation of AnyConnect and a few others) instead, if your company allows it?

    I can help you troubleshoot it
    Just send me the config and your keys

    knowing AnyConnect, it probably messed up your routing tables (forgot to clear them when it last disconnected?), and then you logged in once again and got a different gateway, but routes are already there with an old hop, so some parts of the routing table are prolly OK, while others aren't. That'd explain why you're left w/ a half-ass connection.

    See the routing tables:

    1. before you connect for the first time

    2. when you're connected

    3. when you disconnect

    4. when you reconnect again (and it doesn't work)

    1 and 3 should be identical. 2 and 4 should look either identical or similar.

    My guess is that your #3 will be different from #1.

    P.S. AnyConnect disallows you changing routing tables when you're connected (it forcefully overwrites them several times per second). If you're making adjustments - make them while you're disconnected.

    When you find what's wrong, report its to your VPN admin. With all the findings and complaints.
