 +When using Apple Bonjour for Windows, this can lead to connection problems. ([[http://support.microsoft.com/kb/970313|KB970313]]) .
 +internet-connection-sharing must not be active when using Cisco AnyConnect.
 +
 +Should you encounter any problems with your VPN, please do not hesitate to contact our [[https://gwdg.de/support|Support]].

 +<WRAP center round important 100%>
 +Due to the current load in VPN, two more servers were set up in addition to vpn.gwdg.de: ** vpn-b.gwdg.de ** and ** vpn-c.gwdg.de **.  We recommend using one of them.
 +
 +Please make sure to switch to **vpn.gwdg.de** once in a while since updates will not be delivered while using **vpn-b.gwdg.de** or **vpn-c.gwdg.de**.

 +==== Supported Operating Systems====
 +
 +AnyConnect supports the following operating systems:
 +
 +| Windows:                                | Windows 8/10                                       |
 +| Mac OS:                                 | macOS from 10.13                                   |
 +| Linux (officially supported versions):  | Ubuntu (16.04 and 18.04), RHEL (versions 6 and 7)  |
 +
 +We strongly advise Linux users to use the [[Linux|built-in OpenConnect client together with NetworkManager]] instead of AnyConnect. This solution also works for the alternative gateways vpn-b.gwdg.de and vpn-c.gwdg.de.
