Cisco Anyconnect Client



Client

I enjoy the new VPN client, it’s small and fast, however I hated that you can’t save profiles in the drop down list like you could in the traditional VPN client.

This has been bothering for a long time and kept finding conflicting information on if this was possible or not. Finally got it to work.

Anyconnect

This is for version 3.1x and Windows 7 let me know if this works for your version and OS.
