Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

I started working with EasyOS Buster 2.6.1 released for x86_64 PC. I like it very much, but I cannot connect via OpenConnect (Cisco AnyConnect). I have installed vpnc-scripts_0.1, network-manager-openconnect, network-manager-openconnect-gnome, libopenconnect and all dependencies from the repositories. I prescribed all the settings in the graphical network manager. The connection goes up for a second and then it just drops and all the connections I made disappear from the network manager.
Maybe it's something with the daemons?

It works to connect, but not in the virtual container. When you open the browser in the virtual container, the connection is instantly dropped.

There is no driver for the wireless network card

I'm not using EasyOS, but use OpenConnect in BionicPup. For better troubleshooting maybe it makes sense to start the VPN connection from the terminal.

For example for a connection to Cisco Anyconnect:

openconnect --protocol=anyconnect  your-vpn-server.com -u vpn-user

The terminal output sometimes gives some valuable hints about what is wrong.

I don't get it. What makes you think that I use this driver?

Thank you very much, it helped.

I wish they'd come up with a kill switch for openconnect, but otherwise I'm happy.

As far as I know you can gracefully close the vpn connection by pressing <CTRL>+C in the terminal. You can observe the logout messages in the terminal.

Maybe that is what you consider a kill switch.

I would like my connection to be dropped automatically when openconnect breaks. Prevent dnsleaks. As it is, I constantly have to squint at the terminal window.
