This article shows you how to downloadand install the Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client on aWindows Computer.This article is ONLY applicable to the Cisco Small Business RV34x series routers, not Enterprise products.

AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client is a modular endpoint software product. It not only provides VirtualPrivate Network (VPN) access through Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and Internet Protocol Security (IPsec)Internet KeyExchange version2 (IKEv2) but also offers enhanced security through various built-in modules.

AnyConnect client licenses allow the use of the AnyConnect desktop clients as wellas any of the AnyConnect mobile clients that are available. You will need aclient license todownload and use the Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client. A client license enables the VPNfunctionalityandaresold in packs of 25 from partners like CDW or through your company's device procurement.

If you purchased a license and you are unable to download AnyConnect, call Cisco Global Service Relations at +1 919-993-2724. Select option2. You will need to know your Cisco ID (the one you use to log into Cisco.com) and the sales ordernumber when you call. They will get that situation all straightened out.

Check your Downloads folder to locate the AnyConnect files. Browser based downloads are often depositedinto the downloads folder on your device on windows. The path to the file often resemblesC:\Users\[Your User ID]\Downloads with the C:/ referring to your devices storage drive.

By the way, once the configurations are complete on the router, you can view your connection on the lowerright-hand of your screen. Click the up arrow and hover over the AnyConnect icon to see thedetails.

A vulnerability in the client update process of Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client Software for Windows and Cisco Secure Client Software for Windows could allow a low-privileged, authenticated, local attacker to elevate privileges to those of SYSTEM. The client update process is executed after a successful VPN connection is established.

This vulnerability exists because improper permissions are assigned to a temporary directory that is created during the update process. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by abusing a specific function of the Windows installer process. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to execute code with SYSTEM privileges.

Cisco has released free software updates that address the vulnerability described in this advisory. Customers with service contracts that entitle them to regular software updates should obtain security fixes through their usual update channels.

Customers may only install and expect support for software versions and feature sets for which they have purchased a license. By installing, downloading, accessing, or otherwise using such software upgrades, customers agree to follow the terms of the Cisco software license:

-user-license-agreement.html

Additionally, customers may only download software for which they have a valid license, procured from Cisco directly, or through a Cisco authorized reseller or partner. In most cases this will be a maintenance upgrade to software that was previously purchased. Free security software updates do not entitle customers to a new software license, additional software feature sets, or major revision upgrades.

The Cisco Support and Downloads page on Cisco.com provides information about licensing and downloads. This page can also display customer device support coverage for customers who use the My Devices tool.

When considering software upgrades, customers are advised to regularly consult the advisories for Cisco products, which are available from the Cisco Security Advisories page, to determine exposure and a complete upgrade solution.

In all cases, customers should ensure that the devices to be upgraded contain sufficient memory and confirm that current hardware and software configurations will continue to be supported properly by the new release. If the information is not clear, customers are advised to contact the Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC) or their contracted maintenance providers.

Customers who purchase directly from Cisco but do not hold a Cisco service contract and customers who make purchases through third-party vendors but are unsuccessful in obtaining fixed software through their point of sale should obtain upgrades by contacting the Cisco TAC: -cisco-worldwide-contacts.html

In the following tables, the left column lists Cisco software releases. The right column indicates whether a release is affected by the vulnerability that is described in this advisory and the first release that includes the fix for this vulnerability. Customers are advised to upgrade to an appropriate fixed software release as indicated in this section.

To learn about Cisco security vulnerability disclosure policies and publications, see the Security Vulnerability Policy. This document also contains instructions for obtaining fixed software and receiving security vulnerability information from Cisco.

If I connect to my the network of my university using Cisco AnyConnect, I can no longer connect to the internet on WSL, while everything works fine using e.g. firefox in the windows system. I get: ping: google.de: Temporary failure in name resolution

That worked once, I had access to the internet. But as soon as I disconnected the VPN connection and connected again, I had the same problem all over again. I tried to just execute the commands again and rebooted, but now thats not working anymore.

There is an issue with DNS Forwarding in WSL2 when using VPN (see github Issue). Plus there is a issue with the Cisco AnyConnect. So here is a workaround for these problems. Should work for Ubuntu and Debian.

This solution is automatic and was created by EdwardCooke (see -dns-configuration-with-wsl-and-anyconnect-client/). This is just the first part of his solution updating resolv.conf when starting WSL.

In my case I get DNS issues when try to connect to internal stuff via browser (on Windows 10, f.e.: intranet), caused by the high metric value set in step 4 (basically kind of disabling VPN Route). So here is the workaround for the workaround:

For Windows 11 there was an update to WSL2 in September 2023 with (hopefully) a fix for this issue. Create a file %UserProfile%\.wslconfig with the content below, and then restart wsl. Run wsl.exe --shutdown. I also had to restart my computer but I am not sure if that is always necessary.

In my case, i set VPN network interface metric to 6000 and both vpn and internet within wsl is now working:Get-NetAdapter Where-Object $_.InterfaceDescription -Match "Cisco AnyConnect" Set-NetIPInterface -InterfaceMetric 6000

I had the same problem (no internet when VPN connected) running WSL version 2. To resolve I uninstalled Ubuntu, then from powershell set the default version to WSL 1 when installing a new distro wsl --set-default-version then re-installed Ubuntu. That resolved the issue. To check the WSL versions being used for each distro, from powershell enter wsl -l -v

Now, with Secure Client, you gain improved secure remote access, a suite of modular security services, and a path for enabling Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) across the distributed network. The newest capability is in Secure Endpoint as a new module within the unified endpoint agent framework. Now you can harness Endpoint Detection & Response (EDR) from within Secure Client. You no longer need to deploy and manage Secure Client and Secure Endpoint as separate agents, making management more effortless on the backend.

Within Device Insights, Secure Client lets you deploy, update, and manage your agents from a new cloud management system inside SecureX. If you choose to use cloud management, Secure Client policy and deployment configuration are done in the Insights section of Cisco SecureX. Powerful visibility capabilities in SecureX Device Insights show which endpoints have Secure Client installed in addition to what module versions and profiles they are using.

The emphasis on interoperability of endpoint security agents helps provide the much-needed visibility and simplification across multiple Cisco security solutions while simultaneously reducing the complexity of managing multiple endpoints and agents. Application and data visibility is one of the top ways Secure Client can be an important part of an effective security resilience strategy.

We are not sure what specific issue you are referring to. The last round of issues were resolved by a macOS update and we also put in a workaround from our side. Please reach out to ac-mobile...@cisco.com if you need help with something still not functioning properly with current Secure Client and macOS versions.
