anyconnectVPNswitcher

This is a set of batch scripts and setup to kind of automate the connection to VPN using "Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Agent". The main script is anyconnectVPNswitcher.bat.

It accepts as parameter the name of one of the configured hosts. To list the hosts, do:

Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client (version 4.3.05017) .

Copyright (c) 2004 - 2016 Cisco Systems, Inc.  All Rights Reserved.

[hosts]:

> VPNServer1
> VPNServer2
> VPNServer3

C:\Program Files (x86)\Cisco\Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client>

Additionally, it restarts the "Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Agent" service. This is because, at least on my machine, sometimes it messes up the routing, and I loose the internet after connecting to VPN.

usage

1. Ensure the path to the script is present in the Environment Variables for your user.
2. to connect to a profile:

    anyconnectVPNswitcher.bat VPNServer1
   

3. to disconnect:

    anyconnectVPNswitcher.bat disconnect
   

But, because the service restart requires elevated permissions, better create shortcuts with Administrator privileges for every parameter. Meaning you can have shortcuts like so:

• VPNServer1.bat.lnk
• VPNServer2.bat.lnk
• VPNServer3.bat.lnk
• disconnectVPN.bat.lnk

And then just call them via Run, or have them on your desktop if you like
