VPN Automatically connects without user permission

By Fjejgkv (Pcmac user)

At least once daily, at a random time of day, the VPN will connect automatically and with no notification that it has done so. The little VPN logo just pops up on the top left all of a sudden. Considering a VPN routes all traffic through the app's network, this is an unacceptable privacy invasion. Also annoying bc there are random websites like 9to5mac that are blocked by the app and before I realized what was happening, was confused as to why it wasn't loading suddenly. The only way to prevent this is to delete the app between uses and reinstall. Before using the VPN for the first time each install, it won't auto connect so I basically avoid this app like the plague. I do work at the app and yes it does. Something is turning it on without me opening any the app apps including any connections so this is because of the app not another IT department
Works with 11.2 with caveat

By Sethmeisterg (Pcmac user)

With the server side workaround, AnyConnect now works on iOS 11.2, so I'm revising my rating from 1 to 5 stars. Previous review: The VPN client will fail to establish a connection if running on a device with cellular and Wi-Fi both enabled. I reported this bug months ago but nobody has fixed it yet. Workaround is to disable cellular then you will be able to establish a VPN connection over Wi-Fi. If you want to establish a VPN connection over cellular, you will need to disable Wi-Fi.
Unable to switch Groups

By lewis-90 (Pcmac user)

I have this app through my school and use it while I’m abroad in China. Works pretty well but it’s finicky when it comes to the way you access the school’s VPN. It’s worked in the past but this summer the app seems different. My school has a “General Access” option and a “Library Resource” option for VPN, but this iOS app doesn’t allow me to switch between the two and so I’ve been unable to use the app. I hope the developers resolve this in the future, but for now, this VPN is almost useless.
Great app

By A.NVS (Pcmac user)

I enjoy using this fast and easy , with no speed drop absolutely lovely , however there is this one thing that bothers the app is not remembering password for my connection or i better say for any connection and that is kinda painful everytime you have to type a password ☹️
