Unfortunately, I don't have access to a version newer than 4.10.06079 yet. If there is someone who can help with the update package - please let me know - I'll add to the co-maintainers.

As the comment in the PKGBUILD says (you've read it, right? ;) ), Cisco does not provide public downloads for this, so you have to obtain the installer yourself either through your own Cisco account or through your company's.

Nevermind it's the vpnagentd.service that was not activated.

I have EndeavourOS and I only see the application transparent. I have XFCE. I just see the borders.

@labaman I have access to all AnyConnect related software. Feel free to reach out whenever you need a new version.

@labaman I have access to the latest version 5.0.01242 package. Can you please add me to the co-maintainers? Thanks.

here is the temporary download link of cisco-secure-client-linux64-5.0.01242.tar.gz

https://transfer.sh/nbgPj3/cisco-secure-client-linux64-5.0.01242.tar.gz

this download link will expires in 336 hours

you can download and verify the hash to compare with the official one

https://software.cisco.com/download/home/286330811/type/282364313/release/5.0.01242

it should be a800a32646d03492f9bcc4f739d12ead

I could install the package using a newer installer (4.10.03104) and update the hash and libaccurl.so.4.7.0. However, I cannot launch the application via /opt/cisco/anyconnect/bin/vpnui (sudo doesn't help).

Instead, I can install via sudo bash anyconnet-linux64-*-k9.sh and it works.

Got it to install via a mixture of chokfulla's patch and alienzj's comments

edit: on Manjaro I had to do what PocketSam suggested: run sudo /opt/cisco/anyconnect/bin/vpnagentd. not sure why this wasn't required when doing it on a pure Arch.

Patch for 4.10.05095. Tested with tarball.
