The VPN client agent was unable to create the interprocess communication depot in MacOS

ninja2006 · ‎01-25-2018

I'm using MacOS Sierra 10.12.2 I've installed then upgrade the Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client 4.4.02034

after couple of hours of using the system an interrupting popup shows randomly and shows this alert: The VPN client agent was unable to create the interprocess communication depot.

How can I remove it?

here is the system log:

I've encountered this on my new corporate issued computer after I ran data migration tool.

Go to System Settings and search for "Internet Sharing", if it's enabled, disable it.
Open a terminal, run ifconfig lo0 and see if there is a inet 127.0.0.1 line. Chances are, some data migrate tool or network tool has changed the address, so you don't see 127.0.0.1 in it.
If you don't see inet 127.0.0.1, run sudo ifconfig lo0 127.0.0.1/8 to reset the address of (local) loopback interface.

This is how it fixed my situation, hope this helps.
