How to connect to mcmaster vpn with linux?
How do I connect to mcmaster vpn with linux? McMaster tech services dont have any help for linux systems (eventho it is widely used in engineering).
I got this program called Cisco VPN, it asks me for:
IPSec gateway adress
IPSec ID
IPSec secret (???)
what are these? these are not username and password, as it ask for those later.
what are other ways to connect to VPN?

Cisco Anyconnect is a different system and works differently than Cisco VPN, so thats probably why it isn't accepting your credentials. I don't have a VM of linux right now, or I'd help more.
Edit: Can you post a screenshot of the newer client? |

hmm, looks like the screenshot image host is down. Did you set it up properly? ie first connect to sslvpn.mcmaster.ca in the application to download config? |
