Cisco Anyconnect Download
I'm having trouble with AnyConnect plus Tunnelblick.
I use AnyConnect to connect into the company intranet from home. I've been using Tunnelblick (OpenVPN) to connect *over the AnyConnect VPN* to connect to an internal cluster, through its firewall.
This has been working quite well for years (with the normal occasional glitches) but has never failed like this.
The usual behavior: Connect to the company VPN using AnyConnect; connect to the internal VPN using Tunnelblick. Anyconnect then 'renegotiates' its connections, settles, and all is good. I can connect to the internal cluster via its VPN, through its firewall.
The abnormal behavior is this: I connect up to the company intranet using AnyConnect. I then connect to the internal cluster with Tunnelblick. That connection succeeds and in the process of the AnyConnect's renegotiation, AnyConnect fails, first reporting 'Lost connection to VPN Service. Reattaching...' and then 'Unable to contact the VPN service. Please restart the application.'
No amount of trying to reconnect works until I disconnect the Tunnelblick connection (makes sense) and restart the AnyConnect application.
I have reinstalled AnyConnect, tried reinstalling Tunnelblick - both the stable version and the newer beta version. No difference.
I have grabbed two Cisco Dart reports - one with properly functioning VPN and the second with crashed VPN access - but don't know what to do with them.
This problem pretty much renders remote working impossible.
I don't know where to go next. I'd like to report this to Cisco Support but I don't know the corporate support contract number.
I can use the tedious multi-hop ssh tunneling, but really need to get the usual way to work again. Tunnelblick has been a great simplifier for this comples situation.
Update: This is confounding, but perhaps a hint: the whole sequence works fine when on a wire to my Comcast modem. It fails when connected via wireless. The Comcast wireless experts tried a few different 'security' settings in the router but couldn't fix it. It would seem that there might be some port issue with the wireless router. Is this really a Comcast wireless issue or a Cisco issue?
Update 2: The same thing happens on Verizon WiFi as well.
