Cisco Any Connect : RDP restriction
Hi ..
I have an machine I need to RDP to, in order for me to establish a VPN connection.
Unfortunately, the VPN provider has turned on a setting on the Cisco AnyConnect to prohibit RDP sessions establishing the connection.
(I guess it's because they're encapsulating all network traffic, rather than allowing your personal internet connection to ride).
At the moment, I have to switch back & forth working on that desktop with my primary desktop.
The VPN provider isn't going to just change their VPN setup for me, can anyone think of a way to workaround the problem ?
Thanks

Hello,
I suspect that using Microsoft RDP (mstsc.exe) outside RDM is blocked as well isn't it?

Yup. It's a policy driven from the VPN device (ASA).
Basically, with VPN, you can either have a cfg where the client uses their own Internet connection for outside traffic; or you fully take over the networking (and the internet routes through the VPN instead).
These guys have gone with the second option, and there isn't a hope in hell that I will get them to change their policy.
So .. I was trying to think of a way around it, but I can't.
I'm manually going back & forth to their machine, but it's a lot of mucking around.
Hello,
I am thinking of 2 things that you could try on your end:
Let us know if one of the 2 works for you.
