OpenConnect VPN issue

[ravindisra96189]

When I try to connect to the VPN, it gets connected and within about 3 seconds, it gets disconnected.

In OpenConnect VPN window edit your current profile or setup a new one, under (advanced) settings rename (interface name) to something simple.

I setup a new profile by going to File> Profile > New Profile (advanced) and then gave a name as shown below. The gateway and the username are given as shared by the email. And after saving entered the password shared by email. Initially it gets connected but as before disconnects after about 3seconds.

Try and change the profile name to like MYVPN and then found the ip address of given link and connect that link via ip  and then port instead of dns. A simple IP lookup should show you this.

Sorry. I didn't get that.

Hi, Where do I need to run the command? 

[ravindisra96189]

I have the vpn address and other credentials from the CML. Need to know where to enter this. And the other issue is  regarding @"obtaining the IP address of given link" and how to connect the IP link as you have instructed

[bigevilbeard]

The gateway box add the IP address.

Hope this helps 

[ravindisra96189]

I have entered the details as shown. Still cannot establish the connection. Can you mention from where to get the IP address?

[bigevilbeard]

You need the public IP address as i showed before and add the port number which you shared in your screen shot below, this would be 131.226.217.48:20350.

Once you are connected to the VPN you can use this private IP address.

[ravindisra96189]

I have entered the data as instructed. After pressing "Connect", it requests the password. Although I enter the password that was shared by email, the window pops up again and again requesting the password

@ravindisra96189 check your sandbox is still active. Be sure to type in the username/password to avoid any white spaces.

Hope this helps.
