I use vpnc and kvpn to run a cisco connection and I find it to be fairly reliable, though not as good as cisco's client. However as you've said compiling it on recent kernels involves hacking it ad I've had poor results with that. One of the things that improves stability for me is to select the "reconnect on connection lost" option in kvpn, and also run the keepalive ping there as well. Perhaps you are using vpnc without kvpn.... The combination is better than just one:) wcn Nico Sabbi wrote:
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).
Thanks, Nico
