NoTouch supports both the original Cisco IPSec VPN client as well as the more modern SSL VPNs.'''Please note that VPN capabilities are only included in the special Enhanced Security images (on x86 thin client).''' However, OpenConnect (free Cisco VPN client) support is now available on RX-HDX firmware version 2.40.4306 or later.
== OpenConnect ==
For Cisco connectivity, we favor OpenConnect, not only because it is open, but also because it seems to be better maintained than the original Cisco software. The web page of the OpenConnect product is http://www.infradead.org/openconnect/
We do have the [http://rx-hdx.ncomputing.com/kb/OpenConnect OpenConnect binary ] included (see screenshot). So running openconnect on NoTouch is not better or worse than on any other Linux system. Of course, we try to have parameters for everything so that our customers do not need to go to the command line, but for openconnect we have only the binary for now.
The OpenConnect manual looks relatively simple - http://www.infradead.org/openconnect/connecting.html - There are many parameters if you just run openconnect without any parameter, you will need to check what is necessary for your installation. The OpenConnect manual says that you need to have a vpnc-script. Of course is this included in its default location /etc/vpnc/vpnc-script.
