Good morning everyone, I set up an L2TP/IPsec VPN on a Cisco RV160W router. I configured access from Windows via the Shrew Soft VPN VPN client as indicated by the Cisco tutorial found at this link: Find A Community. Software Client VPN Cisco for Mac. Cisco anyconnect vpn client mac free download - Cisco AnyConnect VPN Client for Linux, AnyConnect, Cisco Legacy AnyConnect, and many more programs. Secure your remote workforce, fast. If you're looking to increase protection for your remote. Download Cisco VPN Client for Mac - Straightforward utility designed to enable its users to effortlessly establish connections between their Macs and a Virtual Private Network (VPN) using a Cisco VPN.
Cisco AnyConnect is the recommended VPN client for Mac. The built-in VPN client for Mac is another option but is more likely to suffer from disconnects.
Overview
Stanford's VPN allows you to connect to Stanford's network as if you were on campus, making access to restricted services possible. To connect to the VPN from your Mac 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.
