Arch Linux User Repository

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.

Hello,

Since some of the Arch updates in the last few days, I keep getting issues with the VPN connection starting and ending up with an error 'Connection Attempt has timed out. Please verify internet connectivity.'

Any tips to fix this?

A recent upgrade of libxml2 broke anyconnect for me, I had to downgrade to libxml2=2.11.5-1 and add it to IgnorePkg in pacman.conf in order to get anyconnect to work again. I assume it's not libxml2 fault, seems like they did some big changes and updates, but one has to wonder how long cisco is going to take with a fix of some sorts.

Also for what it's worth, I just got my AnyConnect vpn working with openconnect again! I had to paste in a user agent after it stopped working recently. The useragent I used is "AnyConnect Linux_64 4.10.07061" in case this helps anyone out. I'd rather not use this bad software made by a bad company so I'm removing anyconnect now :)

I have access to cisco-secure-client-linux64-5.1.0.136, would you like a copy? I installed it manually and it seems to work where this older one in the AUR starts transparent and then crashes as @xavierbaez said.

Let me know how you'd like me to share it and I will :)

Patches for latest secureclient can be found here: https://github.com/ariel-miculas/cisco-secureclient

For MFA to work, libwebkit2gtk needs to be installed.

Why was the source installer/tarball/pkg selection feature removed in https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/commit/PKGBUILD?h=cisco-anyconnect&id=c4e5513e93d2c3334e416c1f755e4d70055c0641 ?

That was convenient for people like me who get a xxx-webdeploy-k9.sh file, I guess I'm not the only one for who it was very useful.

In anycase here's a patch for current -HEAD which brings it back for version 4.10.07061. The only good hash is for anyconnect-linux64-4.10.07061-core-vpn-webdeploy-k9.sh as it's the only file in my possession but it's trivial to change the hash once you download it.

add me and I will upload the software

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.
