Can't connect to Internet when using Cisco Anyconnect VPN on MacOS

[SangP]

Hi Guys, I am using Cisco AnyConnect VPN for logging into my work environment from my mac laptop and when I connect the VPN the internet doesn't work on the browser or basically can't connect to any other sites. Please help me with any ideas? There have been instances in the past where I was able to connect but not sure how to troubleshoot this issue

Hi @SangP 

 The behavior you are facing is consequence of your VPN concentrator does not have Split tunnel configured. The VPN Concentrator is sending you a default route in order to all your traffic is sent to the VPN tunnel.

 I helped a guy another day with similar problem using Mac where he changed the routing on the Mac. For corp access here added a specific route sending to the VPN concentrator and everything else to the local internet.

sudo route -n add -net <cord network> <vpn concentrador>


sudo route -n add -net  0.0.0.0 <internet gateway>


The problem with this approach is that next time you connect to the VPN  you need to add the routes again.
