Does anyone know of a good VPN client that is not the official one from Cisco for Linux?

Best Regards,

Anders

I've used vpnc in the past with great success. It also integrates into Network manager very nicely - at least under Ubuntu

Thanks. I have a look at it. – Anders Nov 8 '10 at 12:43
Works like a charm in Fedora and Mac also. Vpnc can also import all the gateway settings from a PCF file. The only thing I have found is that If you have an encrypted group password in the PCF, it cannot deal with that portion you would have to get that from your network admin. – Alex Nov 8 '10 at 12:57
@Alex: vpnc package ships /usr/bin/cisco-decrypt, a tool that will decrypt the group password (enc_GroupPwd in the .PCF file) :-) – Fran Garcia Nov 14 '10 at 20:54
@Fran Cool. I knew it was trivial to decrypt, didn't know there was a utility that did it :) Thanks – Alex Nov 15 '10 at 15:34

The shrew soft client also works quite well. http://www.shrew.net/software

For future references. I ended up using OpenConnect with vpnc scripts. We connect to our VPN using a web-login with a OTP (One Time Password) (retarded I know), simply using vpnc was not enough, however one can use it's configuration files in combination with OpenConnect, which in turn worked great.
