Cisco VPN Client missing DNS?

Hi,

When connecting to ASG with Cisco-VPN Client, the client does not get a DNS-server address assigned. If I manually edit the vpn-adapter properties (Windows Client) and specify a DNS, it works - but that's not something I want to teach my users ...

When using SSL VPn (Astaro Client) it works.

Any way to fix this?

Regards

Have you added the DNS server to WebAdmin>>Remote Access>>Advanced? If you are assigning the Astaro DNS server/proxy, make certain that you have added the VPN Pool to the Allowed Networks list.

Hi, KH and KP, and welcome to the User BB!

KH, I think that's a limitation of the Cisco client.

'WebAdmin>>Remote Access' 'Advanced' - complete this.

'Network Services >> DNS' 'Allowed networks' - "VPN Pool (Cisco)" included? (or whatever is in 'Pool Networks:' in 'Remote Access >> Cisco VPN Client').

Cheers - Bob

There have been versions in the past where the Cisco Client VPN type hasn't been able to get DNS information properly, but I believe that this was fixed in 8.1x.

Personally I'm fond of the SSL VPN type, which by default operates using port 443. The main negative of using SSL is that it has to be run using elevated credentials.
