Installing the VPN Client
11 hours ago It affects all AnyConnect client versions for Windows, Linux, and macOS with vulnerable configurations — mobile iOS and Android clients are not impacted by this vulnerability.
- Download the AnyConnect VPN client for macOS 11.0 - 10.15 (Big Sur to Catalina) or macOS 10.14 - 10.13 (Mojave to High Sierra).
- In your Downloads folder, double-click the file you just downloaded to open it. An icon will appear on the desktop called AnyConnect, and a separate window will open.
- Double-click on AnyConnect.mpkg to run the installer, then follow the steps to complete the installation. NOTE: We recommend you un-check everything (Web Security, Umbrella, etc) except for the VPN and the Diagnostic and Reporting Tool (DART). This will give you a minimal install. The other features are not supported so there's no need to install them.
- Starting with macOS 10.13 High Sierra: During the installation, you will be prompted to enable the AnyConnect software extension in the System Preferences -> Security & Privacy pane. The requirement to manually enable the software extension is an operating system requirement.
- Download Cisco AnyConnect and enjoy it on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. This is the latest AnyConnect application for Apple iOS. Please report any questions to ac-mobile-feedback@cisco.com.
- Download the VPN AnyConnect client for Intel. Note: Minimum MacOS for this version is 10.13 (only 64-bit is supported from 10.15 and later) Support for 10.13 will end in November; Save the client to your desktop. After the download completes, double-click the anyconnect-macos-4.9.00086-core-vpn-webdeploy-k9.pkg installation file.
