has anyone in the group ever managed to connect to La Trobe Univeristy's vpn services from a linux box? If so how? The only options that IT gives me is Cisco Anyconnect for Windows or Apple.
My work uses an AnyConnect VPN. If you browse to the URL (something like https://vpn.blah.com/) it should prompt you to fire up Java, and install the official Linux-compatible VPN client. I have also had great success with the network-manager-openconnect{,-gnome} package which lets me configure the whole lot from the GUI, integrated into NetworkManager. Much nicer than the horrible Cisco client. Those that recommended vpnc -- that only works for traditional (IPsec-based) Cisco VPNs. AnyConnect is what they call an SSL VPN -- a TCP SSL connection, encapsulating who-knows-what. TCP-in-TCP a bad idea? Hah, what did you say? I forgot already. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG/MacGPG2 v2.0.17 (Darwin) Comment: GPGTools - http://gpgtools.org Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAk7/z7MACgkQvs6Qqs8TxBoiYQCfd7XxhgtvfBkdUmnwzQPMSStP OLoAn0WeBs961uRngEnOIGdT4V9R+TF8 =ZDLQ -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
