Hi, using Cisco's vpnclient I can connect to the other side and work in full stability, but compiling the needed module after kernel changes is always a PITA, thus I'd like to replace it.
vpnc kind of works, but it disconnects too frequently - even when I'm actually using the vpn connection - and after a while it doesn't reconnect anymore. Is there some magical setting that I have to pass to vpnc to keep the connection stable?
If necessary I can use OpenVPN, but since I don't know it at all I'd like to have a configuration example specific for Cisco vpns (I remember that configuring openvpn is really scary).
Nico - what cisco client version are you using? There are newer ones that support the updated kernels. I am currently running 4.8.00 and it will connect all day without an issue. (I only wish I didn't have to run it in the CLI.)
I'm running the cli version too, and it's quite reliable. I've never had any success with kvpnc. Any attempt to connect to the cisco vpn with kvpnc results in the death of knetwork manager, which is unable to come back until reboot. Needless to say, I avoid kvpnc, and use the command line cisco client. Joe -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
