Navigate Windows File Explorer to the installer file. Double-click the installer to initiate the installation process. Check your Downloads folder to locate the AnyConnect files. Browser based downloads are often deposited into the downloads folder on your device on windows. OpenConnect is known to work, with both IPv6 and Legacy IP, on Linux (including Android), OpenBSD, FreeBSD (including Debian GNU/kFreeBSD), NetBSD, DragonFly BSD, OpenIndiana/OpenSolaris, Solaris 10/11, Windows and Mac OS X platforms, and should be trivially portable to any other platform supporting TUN/TAP devices and on which GnuTLS or OpenSSL runs. The open source implementation of OpenVPN protocol, whose original code was authored by our co-founder, is licensed under GNU GPL. This empowers you to create a VPN solution for your unique device platform using the source code. We sponsor the open source project, from the revenue generated by our products, to ensure it's growth.

For Solaris support, and for IPv6 on any platform, thevpnc-script shipped with vpnc itself (as of v0.5.3)is not sufficient. It is necessary to use the script from the vpnc-scriptsrepository instead. That repository also contains an updated version ofvpnc-script-win.js which is required for correct IPv6 configurationunder Windows.
OpenConnect is known to work on at least i386, x86_64, PowerPC and MIPSprocessors, and should not have issues with portability to other CPUs.
Note that 'Cisco Secure Desktop' support may require the ability to run Linux/i386 binaries; see the CSD page. CSD is not yetsupported under Windows.
New Ports
Platform support for new UNIX systems is relatively simple to add— most of the difference is in the TUN/TAP device handling, andthe major variants of that are already supported.
OpenConnect builds for Windows using MinGW in 32-bit and 64-bit mode, andworks with the TAP-Windows driver shipped with OpenVPN (driver version9.9 or later).

Cisco Anyconnect Open Source Client
Notes:
Open Cisco Anyconnect Secure Mobility Client
- Once the Anyconnect is installed on your machine, it will always be automatically upgraded to the latest version as they are published by Network Services. You shouldn't need to go through the manual installation process unless you reinstall your operating system, or your client becomes corrupted and needs to be uninstalled and reinstalled.
- After connecting for the first time, the VPN policy will be pushed to your client. The pulldown will say 'Gatorlink VPN' rather than vpn.ufl.edu after this policy is downloaded.
