AnyConnect VPN into Cisco Sandbox

[joshlloyd73093]

I've tried to sign into a Cisco sandbox to play around with Ansible tools, however I'm falling down at using AnyConnect to get in. From looking at similar posts and reading the guides I'm not sure where the issue is. I have the VPN details, but it keeps timing out. I'm probably missing something simple. AnyConnect Version is 4.8.01090

Hi 

If you experience the issue again ... try

nc -zc devnetsandbox-emea-gwy.cisco.com 20200
Connection to devnetsandbox-emea-gwy.cisco.com port 20200 [tcp/*] succeeded!

replacing the name and port from the connection detail email to confirm if its AnyConnect issue or DevNet gateway is unreachable.

Or you could also look into using OpenConnect as VPN client.

thanks you mean -zv on ubuntu? It worked!

$ nc -zv devnetsandbox-emea-gwy.cisco.com 20200
Connection to devnetsandbox-emea-gwy.cisco.com 20200 port [tcp/*] succeeded!

So this means it's an AnyConnect issue?

looks like it.. if connection succeeds .. you could retry installing AC available from DevNet website or use OpenConnect client.

Oof unable to install OpenClient or re-install AC as it is a managed device. Attempted on a computer I own and it worked. Is likely the issue is caused by my devices unchangeable settings. I appreciate the help
