Thanks for this  johnd2310 I thought I found a Cisco Anyconnect VPN client for Linux a couple of weeks ago and there is a link to a page to get one in the official download/install documents but it just takes you to the windows/mac download page which is kind of annoying. I wonder if they just didn't have enough usage to make it worthwhile to maintain. ... View more

For anyone else new to Cisco Netacademy or wanting to brush up... I just found out about this wonderful nerd world known as Cisco Devnet Sandbox. Did you ever find a class on Udemy for CCNA? It's better to take a full class at a college under the Cisco Networking Academy but if you're looking for a Boot-camp to brush up before taking your cert or to re-cert then I know of 3 great Boot-camps on Udemy they are all updated for the CCNA 200-125. 1. My favorite is Neil Anderson - He has killer labs where he provides a network topo map - configs - lab questions then also an answer key. He has even provided a full lab set up for both Packet Tracer which is good for switching and for GNS3 which is much better for routing labs but doesn't have generic easy plug and play for switching. He also has a website full of extra labs and other courses and training for other vendors. He has been a CCIE for a long time. 2. David Bombal who has a good Boot-camp and a lot of labs on his website. He's the one who turned me onto Devnet/Virl Sandbox with a great video with one of the senior devs. 3. Chris Bryant. I took some CCNA   boot camp training on his website and videos back in the late   '90s   and his newest   Bootcamp on Udemy is good too. He also has some great resources on his website. He's one of the first trainers that worked with the website at Cisco lab kits to help people get real equipment. I haven't dealt with Ciscolabkits.com for a while. With Cisco's new licensing I don't know how well they're doing since the new licensing system isn't transferable.   I hope all goes well with your studies. When I first started studying Cisco in 2004 packet tracer sucked, we didn't have GNS3 or obviously Devnet but I was fortunate enough to go to a Community College that believed in   hands-on so we had 1 heck of a real physical lab. ...

So, I don't know if the Gremlins got tired and just went home, or if there was system maintenance going on last night but YEYYYYY!!!! it's working normally again.   If it wasn't a maintenance issue or Gremlins, it might have been because I didn't check the box to ignore unsecured servers in the options of the VPN (anytime connect).   Since I'm not the only one who's had this issue, in case it was the checkbox I wanted to mention that in hopes it might save someone else from 6 hours of frustration and fear that they broke Cisco's Billion dollar Sandbox system. :-) ...
