Cisco AnyConnect: Secure VPN Client Extension For Chrome

"Cisco AnyConnect" is a VPN client extension for Chrome that enables users to securely connect to Cisco hardware. It supports TLS/DTLS (SSL) and IPsec IKEv2 VPN functions, providing reliable and secure connectivity. However, the application has limitations such as reduced VPN performance on low-end Chromebooks and compatibility requirements, such as Chrome OS 51 or later for auto reconnect support. It also clearly states that AnyConnect may not be used with non-Cisco hardware under any circumstance.

This worked great until my company went to using Duo for 2FA and now it won't connect. I guess Cisco should update this, since they haven't since 2018.
