Arch Linux User Repository

Unfortunately, I don't have access to a version newer than 4.10.06079 yet. If there is someone who can help with the update package - please let me know - I'll add to the co-maintainers.

As the comment in the PKGBUILD says (you've read it, right? ;) ), Cisco does not provide public downloads for this, so you have to obtain the installer yourself either through your own Cisco account or through your company's.

add me and I will upload the software

Nevermind it's the vpnagentd.service that was not activated.

I have EndeavourOS and I only see the application transparent. I have XFCE. I just see the borders.

@labaman I have access to all AnyConnect related software. Feel free to reach out whenever you need a new version.

@labaman I have access to the latest version 5.0.01242 package. Can you please add me to the co-maintainers? Thanks.

here is the temporary download link of cisco-secure-client-linux64-5.0.01242.tar.gz

https://transfer.sh/nbgPj3/cisco-secure-client-linux64-5.0.01242.tar.gz

this download link will expires in 336 hours

you can download and verify the hash to compare with the official one

https://software.cisco.com/download/home/286330811/type/282364313/release/5.0.01242

it should be a800a32646d03492f9bcc4f739d12ead

I could install the package using a newer installer (4.10.03104) and update the hash and libaccurl.so.4.7.0. However, I cannot launch the application via /opt/cisco/anyconnect/bin/vpnui (sudo doesn't help).

Instead, I can install via sudo bash anyconnet-linux64-*-k9.sh and it works.

Got it to install via a mixture of chokfulla's patch and alienzj's comments

edit: on Manjaro I had to do what PocketSam suggested: run sudo /opt/cisco/anyconnect/bin/vpnagentd. not sure why this wasn't required when doing it on a pure Arch.
