• From the terminal, run openconnect -b VPN_ADDRESS. Provide the username and password when prompted
# Example Connection
sudo openconnect -b dcloud-rtp-anyconnect.cisco.com
• The OpenConnect process is running the background as a process. You can end and disconnect by using the kill command. For example:
# Find the running process
sudo ps -ax | grep openconnect
