repeated anyconnect browser popup on connection loss (windows 10)

I suffer from intermittent outages while working from home on my home network, sometimes the outages are very small and affect WiFi only.

The cisco VPN will then try to reconnect, and keeps throwing up an anyconnect browser popup window at an IP address 92.242.132.24.

This gets my wifi confused and it responds with a 'not found' web page. The cycle repeats so frequently that it's a complete pain.

What I want to do is to retain the reconnect feature, AND I want to leave my firewall settings the same, but JUST REMOVE the anyconnect browser feature. Is there a way to suppress this on W10? I have looked at the settings available but there isn't a setting that disables the anyconnect browser. Does it have to be done by my corporate IT if so lease reply with instructions so they can alter the settings.

In any case having a separate web browser embedded in the VPN product would appear to be a security risk in itself!

PLEASE ALSO NOTE that I start the Cisco client manually, this IS NOT a question about startup.

- I guess you home network connection/broadband  ADSL is not stable as you mentioned you have a outrages very small and effect you WiFi. i know it a dump ask but you could run continues ping to google.com and check what is the latency rate of your internet connection. this could be a good start to fixing the internet issue at your home network.

-This is a normal behaviour when internet connection is not stable anyconnect try to reconnect itself but if the internet connection is out for few moments the anyconnect windows throw up an error. like you have seen.

- if you want some feature like this it has to be from your Firewall team department. but this will roll out to everyone unless you are exceptional case in your coporate

Let's say I can get out IT department to do this, so what attribute(s) or configuration do they have to change to turn off the browser pop up?

 

Please give precise instructions.
