Stanford's VPN allows you to connect to Stanford's network as if you were on campus, making access to restricted services possible. Nba live 08. To connect to the VPN from your Windows computer you need to install the Cisco AnyConnect VPN client.

Two types of VPN are available:

  • Default Stanford (split-tunnel). When using Stanford's VPN from home, we generally recommend using the Default Stanford split-tunnel VPN. This routes and encrypts all traffic going to Stanford sites and systems through the Stanford network as if you were on campus. All non-Stanford traffic proceeds to its destination directly.
  • Full Traffic (non-split-tunnel). This encrypts all internet traffic from your computer but may inadvertently block you from using resources on your local network, such as a networked printer at home. If you are traveling or using wi-fi in an untrusted location like a coffee shop or hotel, you may wish to encrypt all of your internet traffic through the Full Traffic non-split-tunnel VPN to provide an additional layer of security.

When I start the AnyConnect Software and put in the DNS or IP information I immediately receive the error message of 'The client could not connect because of a secure gateway address failure. Please verify Internet connectivity and server address' The PC is resolving the address information so connectivity is not an issue that I can see.

On some of our projects, we have a requirement to connect to a VPN for server access. Our team was having an issue specifically with Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client on Mac OSX making vagrant based local development environments become non-responsive. After connecting to the VPN, SSH inside the Vagrant box would stop working, as well as visiting any local domains. From what I've gathered, Cisco AnyConnect can be a bit aggressive with local networking.

I've seen the same thing in the past, because AnyConnect basically blows out your hosts file and local networking configuration and replaces it with Ciscos (many other things besides local development environments can be broken because of this).

From what I could find, the issue seems to be semi-well documented with very few or complicated solutions. Here are just a few over the past few years:

The only resolve is to completely restart the computer and then start Vagrant again. Simply restarting vagrant did not work. This of course is completely frustrating when you need to switch between local development and testing in a staging environment where VPN is required.

Finally after a lot of searching, I found OpenConnect. OpenConnect is an SSL VPN client initially created to support Cisco's AnyConnect SSL VPN. In my case, I was able to simply switch from Cisco AnyConnect to OpenConnect and all my Vagrant issues went away.
