Using Cisco vpn client with Ubuntu Linux Desktop

Configuration

Download and install the Cisco vpn Client. im using vpnclient-linux-x86_64-4.8.02.0030-k9 at the time of this article.
(if u need it send me an email). unpack, and install in my installation i opted out of the option for starting as a daemon so i start it manually everytime.

Using my PROFILE.pcf file

Then we can copy our Cisco VPN Profile over to the profile directory.
Now we are ready to connect to our connection. Note we dont add the .pcf extension to the profile we’re going to use
mnk0@tree:~$ /etc/opt/cisco-vpnclient connect PROFILE
