Add VPN type to Network configurations

Question

I'm trying to save a OpenConnect vpn in the network settings, however i'm only prompted with two types (OpenVPN and Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol PPTP) even 'tough i've installed OpenConnect and connected from the terminal many times.

How can I add the option in the Network Manager so I can save this VPN?

Answer 1

Try installing the openconnect packages:

sudo apt install network-manager-openconnect network-manager-openconnect-gnome

followed by:

sudo systemctl restart network-manager.service

The Choose a VPN Connection Type dropdown will now contain two new entries:

• Cisco AnyConnect Compatible VPN (openconnect)

• Juniper Network Connect (openconnect)

  

A reboot might be necessary instead of the network-manager restart.
