I received a reply from David Woodhouse over on the Cisco community forum regarding using Openconnect to create a VPN between my linux laptop and a Linksys/Cisco WRVS4400N small business VPN router.? He suggested that folks over here might be able to help me configure openconnect to create a client-to-gateway VPN connection. I have a linux (Ubuntu 10.04LTS) laptop and want to connect a VPN to my SOHO WRVS4400N gateway router. I have the gnome network manager GUI and openconnect installed.? I am not certain if the IPSec service is running on the laptop and if not, I may need a terminal syntax nudge regarding how to start it, where find relevant log files, etc. Cisco's QVPN utility works under Windows Vista from the laptop to the router just fine, but does not work using Wine.? I do have QVPN running under Ubuntu via a Virtualbox Vista guest, but it's a very clumsy and horribly slow way to do things, and I suspect it should be rather easy to have a native linux VPN client that will connect to the WRVS4400N. In Windows, I configure QVPN via it's GUI with:? a host address, a username, a password, and a port (443).? I also needed to have the router generate what Cisco calls a "Client Certificate" (a .PEM file) and copy the .PEM to the folder where QVPN.exe is.? I also have a router generated "Administrator Certificate" available if it will help. The WRVS4400N router documentation is completely unclear regarding the type of connection or process that is used to establish a client-to-gateway VPN connection. Part of my difficulty may be nomenclature related, where Linksys' use of terminology does not align with the labels used on various configuration fields in Openconnect. Can Openconnect be used to set up a hostname + username + password + port + client certificate and establish a client-to-gateway IPSec VPN connection to this Linksys router?? If not, will any of the other gnome/network manager GUI VPN mechanisms work? Thanks in advance for the help! Ethan
