connection via openconnect halts after 2-3 minutes

[Wolf Rogner]

I have to use Cisco AnyConnect to access client VPNs. To do so, I use openconnect (and network-manager-openconnect for the connection)

After connecting I can work with the client infrastructure for about 2-3 minutes (4 maximum, but I reach that very seldomly).

After that timespan - the connection is still up according to network manager - any interaction slows to a halt. Connections to DevOps tools show spinning cursors, Excel files do not accept saves, no reaction.

The most reliable reboot of the connection is to terminate the VPN connection and reestablish using a token (sorry, forgot to mention this: I use RSA tokens).

Now here is the catch: For long I presumed that this was related to a single client side. It turns out now, that this phenomenon occurs with ANY AnyConnect Client.

When you say the problem occurs with any AnyConnect client, do you mean the official client as well? If so then this is probably not a bug in NetworkManager or OpenConnect. Do the same symptoms occur when connecting with OpenConnect directly on the command line instead of through NetworkManager?
