Needed: Cisco VPN client for Windows 7 64-bit, Please Help! (self.netsec)

submitted ago by bokin

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I require a copy of the Cisco VPN client for Windows 7 64-bit. I do not have a Cisco account from which to download. Your help would be much appreciated.

Edit: Thank you everyone, I knew the Reddit hive mind would come through in the clutch. Up votes for all!

This is the file name and md5sum that might help you grab it off the internet:
vpnclient-winx64-msi-5.0.07.0240-k9-BETA.exe 3a341a639fa70d43d1b5d1191f6c339d

Also, I can email if needed (pm me an address).

Edit - Thanks for posting this btw, I didn't realize Cisco finally released a 64bit client until I just checked the download page for you. I figured they were still forcing everyone to use anyconnect / ssl.

I had some luck with with Shrew VPN for 64 bit support. It's been mixed bag though. Not everyone at my company has been able to get it to work.

This is what I've been using for our 64-bit users. It has worked just fine, and you can create pre-customized installs pretty easily.

That is the first time I saw win7 actually bluescreen. Shrew did it.

Legit copy of win7 too.

YMMV.

Yeah. I installed shrew on my Windows 7 Pro and it bluescreened.

Another vote for shrew. I have to VPN into several different places during my daily work. Shrew handles it all flawlessly.

I recommend trying the vpnc client, it allows you to manually decide what to route through the tunnel and somehow seems less heavy than the Cisco client.

I also recently came across a Windows frontend called vpnfe.

thanks for this, I use vpnc on gentoo but didn't realize it had a win frontend

You can use the anyconnect client. It works on all OS flavors.

[–]petrifiedcattle 1 point2 points ago

I was just going to suggest this. The only one we have that works well at my work.

[–]Switche 1 point2 points ago

Highly recommend this one. It's slim and robust and follows me around no matter the platform.

[–]twowordz 2 points3 points ago

It's a bitch to setup though. And you need the proper licenses on your appliance.

[–]Mikecom32 0 points1 point ago

I didn't have much luck with the anyconnect client and an old vpn concentrator 3000, so YMMV.

nice. i first tried finding it at college websites giving instructions to students, but to no avail.

[–]sagewah 0 points1 point ago

GOLD!

This has solved a very annoying problem for me :)

[–]infinityprime 0 points1 point ago

glad it helped. I was looking for the same thing last week.

[–]sagewah 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Helped immensely! Last time I looked was a couple of months ago; there didn't appear to be a 64bit version available - which was a pain as I'd just moved a client to a shiny new 64bit server and their main line of business software demanded the presence of the cisco vpn client for full functionality. A bit of a faux pas, that one. Looking forward to telling the software vendors (who have only said it isn't possible, and likely never will be) that they can jam it up their backsides on Monday morning :)

PM me. I've got it, I'll compress it and shoot it over to you. We tried using shrewsoft and it was a pita for us. (though Ive heard good things)

I ran into this problem as well. My solution is an XP virtual machine in which I connect to VPN at work. That way, all my traffic is sandboxed and I can continue my personal browsing activities on my physical PC without that traffic going through my office. Keep your torrents up, stream your music, visit whatever site you want, and as long as you do that shit from the physical box, no one has to know.

[–]JoeBMX 1 point2 points ago

Interesting. We constantly have to use VPN to connect to our clients network while still needing that computer on the network. I'm going to bring this idea up to my boss and profit.

[–]RufusMcCoot 1 point2 points ago

Oh hell yeah. If you need the physical box on your own network while you are rocking VPN to a customer site, then a virtual machine is the way to go.

For me, I'm talking a VPN connection from home to my office, so I am the sole maintainer of my virtual machine since it's here on my own home PC. Because of that, I tend to have the feeling "oh it's just a virtual machine" so I don't maintain it like I should (AV protection is lacking, Windows updates too). You probably don't want to get into that habit since you're connecting a VM to your customer site.
