Greetings,

Looking at the output and searching explicitly for Cannot read registry key SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Network\{4D36E972-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}\{5E285114-0E5C-4AB1-BFBB-541B0700518F}\Connection\Name or is not string this looks to be an issue with openconnect itself. As I do not want to link an external website- the first entry on google searching this phrase seems to exhibit the same issues that you are observing and may be associated with your problem. You may need to inquire on the openconnect gitlab site for further support as this appears to be specific to openconnect code.

In OpenConnect VPN window edit your current profile or setup a new one, under (advanced) settings rename (interface name) to something simple. I had a very similar issue, hope this helps.

@Chandran are you using windows here? I saw few past thread with this not working, and when the user switched to anyconnect this was ok.

It worked when I edited my profile in OpenConnect and added "mvpn" in local interface.

I've had the same issue: Set up tun device failed

Here is detailed step on what worked for me:

Under Profiles -> Edit selected profile -> Interface name, put "myvpn"

The solution proposed by @espvic93 effectively resolved my issue

I was having the same issue with Windows10 and OpenConnect VPN v1.6.2-dirty(64). My logs were similar to Chandran's. I implemented the fix that espvic93 suggested (I named my interface 'int1') and it resolved my issue. I have now been up and running and active in CML for 30 minutes with no issues.

I had a same issue. First I change the profile name to simpe MYVPN and then i did following:
1. found the ip address of given link.

2. Connect that link via ip and then port instead of dns.
This worked for me
