Cisco AnyConnect Network Extension settings

It has been a while since I used Cisco AnyConnect VPN to connect to work. If you have trouble, consult your IT staff what AnyConnect version you should use (I always asked them to provide the current version and then updated to that instead trying to download it from shady sites) and what settings they recommended to use.

Hi all,

I am running Sequoia 15.5 on a 2024 MacBook Pro. Whenever launching, I get the notification by Cisco AnyConnect to enable the feature in the Mac's "Network Extensions" settings. However, this option does not seem to exist in my Mac within the Extensions category.

Did anybody else encounter this issue and knows how to solve it?

Thanks

If this is a VPN... I would not unless this is between you and your job or a Bank server...

If you insist maybe "Cisco AnyConnect" has a support channel.

Hey cardamom2crumble!

Is AnyConnect an application that you use? Or even one that you want on your Mac?
