An open source Linux-compatible alternative to Cisco's closed-source guff. What's not to like?

Said about OpenConnect as an alternative

glenkpeterson

It's more secure, open source, updated regularly, works painlessly, and doesn't crash. I've been happily using it Dec 2015 - Aug 2019 so far. Configuration is a little painstaking, but no more so than other linux command-line security tools.
