Configuring VPN (AnyConnect, OpenVPN)

Question

I'm trying to connect to an AnyConnect VPN server on my FC30 machine. I have the AnyConnect configuration to connect a MacOS device. I just don't have AnyConnect on my FC 30 device.

I tried to download AnyConnect, but it's not like there's a simple "AnyConnect Client" package to download. Do I get the Pre-Deployment pacakge, the Headend Deployment Package, or something else?

My question is two part. If you think it's easier to use AnyConnect, which AnyConnect package or packages should I download? If you think it's easier to use OpenVPN, what parts of the AnyConnect configuration should I port over?

Answer 1

I use openconnect to connect to our AnyConnect VPN.
