Cisco VPN client for Microsoft Windows 8.1 Pro

[pjayakar123]

I need Cisco VPN client for Microsoft Windows 8.1 Pro. I tried multiple vpn clients but no one is working, actually VPN client is installing sucessfully and even its connecting too using the vpn clients but not able to get connect to remote desktop of any internal servers.

Please help.

The Cisco VPN client is end of sales and not supported on Windows 8.1 (or Windows 8).

The current Cisco client - Anyconnect Secure Mobility Client - is supported on Windows 8 and 8.1. (Reference)

Depending on your VPN headend, you amy be able to update the remote access VPN to use Anyconnect.

Hope this helps.

Hello Marvin,

According to the link you provided, and according to this table in the link; does that mean the newest anyconnect VPN client will work with ASA 8.2 software?

Thank you again Marvin, you are very knowledgable and helpful.

I just downloaded it from here and the Windows 7 x64 worked just fine on my Windows 8.1:

You might want to give TheGreenBow IPSEC VPN Client a try. It's Windows 8.1 compatible and easy to use. There is a free trial as well.

Hi Pjayakar,

Try to create a outside interface access policy source vpn pool destination inside network service ip with permit.

Make sure do you have Exempt NAT with VPN pool.
