Add VPN Profiles
A virtual private network (VPN) connection establishes a secure tunnel between endpoint devices over a public network such as the Internet. This section describes how to create VPN profiles to allow for configuration of remote user connections through a VPN.
Always On for VPN Profiles
Always On determines whether AnyConnect automatically connects to the VPN when the user logs in to a compute. You can enforce corporate policies, protecting the computer from security threats by preventing access to Internet resources when it is not in a trusted network.
