I'm having an issue with the Mac version of the VPN AnyConnect Client. The Client I'm using is version 2.4.1012, and my MacOSX version is 10.6.4. The issue is that after connecting to the VPN server, everything will work fine for 5 minutes or so, then the connection is lost for about 2 minutes, ev. The Cisco AnyConnect VPN allows you to connect to Mason networks allowing access to restricted services as if you were on campus. To connect to the VPN from your Mac computer, you need to install the Cisco AnyConnect VPN client. The following instructions are for computers NOT on Jamf Pro (Mason Self Service). If your computer is on Mason Self. The latest AnyConnect Client version 4.9.0.02028 (anyconnect-macos-4.9.02028) fixed the problem for me. You should give it a try. Native Cisco VPN on Mac OS X. Confirmed working on OS X High Sierra. The proprietary CiscoVPN Mac client is somewhat buggy. It is possible to use the IPSec VPN software included with Mac OS X instead. This tutorial shows you how to migrate from CiscoVPN to the native OS X IPSec VPN by decrypting passwords saved in CiscoVPN PCF files. I cannot install Cisco Anyconnect VPN on Mac OS X as the VPN package is greyed out during installation. What should I do? The VPN package is greyed out (as shown in the screen capture below) due to incomplete/unclean installation of VPN client.

Overview

Stanford's VPN allows you to connect to Stanford's network as if you were on campus, making access to restricted services possible. To connect to the VPN from your Mac you need to install the Cisco AnyConnect VPN client.

Two types of VPN are available:

Default Stanford (split-tunnel). When using Stanford's VPN from home, we generally recommend using the Default Stanford split-tunnel VPN. This routes and encrypts all traffic going to Stanford sites and systems through the Stanford network as if you were on campus. All non-Stanford traffic proceeds to its destination directly.
Full Traffic (non-split-tunnel). This encrypts all internet traffic from your computer but may inadvertently block you from using resources on your local network, such as a networked printer at home. If you are traveling or using wi-fi in an untrusted location like a coffee shop or hotel, you may wish to encrypt all of your internet traffic through the Full Traffic non-split-tunnel VPN to provide an additional layer of security.

You can select the type of VPN you want to use each time you connect.
