FAQs

Should I include the port number?

Port 443 is the default HTTPS port. Most clients connect on 443 automatically, so you usually don't need to specify it. If a client asks for a port, enter 443.

Can I use the regular Cisco AnyConnect client on Windows?

Cisco AnyConnect for Windows typically requires an enterprise licence. We recommend OpenConnect GUI as a free, open-source alternative that is fully compatible.
