Installing vpnc on CentOS

view story
linux-howto

http://unix.stackexchange.com – I'm currently attempting to establish a vpn connection, but I am unable to install a vpn client. I assumed installation would be as simple as sudo yum install vpnc, but CentOS is unable to find the vpnc package. I browsed some more, and discovered I needed to install and enable the rpmforge repository for yum to find the package. I downloaded the rpmforge-release-0.5.2-2.el6.rf.x86_64.rpm and installed successfully. However, when I run my original yum command, I am still unable to find the package. Is there a different repository I need to add in order to locate the vpnc packages for Ce (HowTos)

I am trying to connect establish VPN connection with vpnc but it failed with message

Error: either "to" is duplicate, or "ipid" is a garbage

According to http://blog.nowherelan.com/2011/10/10/vpnc-on-ubuntu-oneiric-error-eithe... I replaced vpnc-script but got a new error message:

I need to know how to establish VPN connection with Cisco VPN using vpnc on Centos 5.6. I can start the connection but after a period of time the vpnc process doesn't exist in the process list when run

# pgrep vpnc

I don't know is that because the connection itself goes down or what?...if so, then how can I make the connection permanent?

The configuration file looks like this

Getting problems on the Ubuntu 11.04 for openconnect... the failure after connecting says:

Got CONNECT response: HTTP/1.1 200 OK CSTP connected. DPD 30, Keepalive 20 Connected tun0 as 172.21.246.21, using SSL DTLS handshake failed: 2

I thought it is a kernel fault so I updated to 12.04 which didn't change the message. It could be that the vpnc-script has the problem.

libssl-dev package missing 3 years 22 weeks ago

I've been searching for a whole day this package, but yum couldn't find it and even googling it I can only find debian packages for that. Does anyone know how to find it in .rpm?

I need it for compiling the vpnc client with openssl (still wondering why the ssl certification was excluded in the in-built package) because without it I get errors.

Hi all, hoping somebody can help me out. My company has switched are cisco vpn from regular rsa login to certificate/rsa login. My vpnc worked fine before using rsa login. But now with certificate/rsa login, I can't seem to get it to work. I think I've read pretty much everything I can google about this issue but still not working. I'm using FC16 64bit.

As stated in a previous question I want to connect to 2 VPN servers at the same time and for each connection specify the IPs of computers I want to reach with it. One of this VPN connection is done with vpnc and a default.conf file, and the other one is done with a Cisco client (I am not able, for now at least to connect with vpnc because I don't have the IPSecrete element required to connect).

I am setting up Cisco VPN on Ubuntu 12.04, when I run into strange behavior. I have downloaded and installed the following packages: vpnc network-manager-vpnc and dependencies.

When adding the connection with network manager, I am not able to save the connection - I only get this error

I have tried different settings, tried importing cisco .pcf without any luck so far.
