Anyconnect Was Not Able To Connect To Secure Gateway



This post describes how to fix the following error messages when using Windows 8 Pro:

This document describes what to do when you enounter this Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client VPN User Message: The VPN client was unable to setup IP filtering. A VPN connection will not be. If the user cannot connect with the AnyConnect VPN Client, the issue might be related to an established Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) session or Fast User Switching enabled on the client PC. The user can see the AnyConnect profile settings mandate a single local user, but multiple local users are currently logged into your computer.

  • AnyConnect was not able to establish a connection to the specified secure gateway. Please try connecting again.
  • The VPN client driver encountered an error. Please restart your computer or device, then try again.

The steps to fix this problem are as follows:

1. Edit a registry entry by running a program called regedit. Right-click on it and Run as administrator. Note that I use Start8, by Stardock, to have a Start button and menu. After you left-click on Run as administrator, your computer might ask you to enter the admin password.

2. Go to the appropriate VPN registry directory called ComputerHKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetServicesvpnva

3. Double left-click the DisplayName key.

An Edit String pop-up window will appear.

The text under the Value data: field on my computer looked like this.

@oem20.inf,%vpnva_Desc%;Cisco AnyConnect VPN Virtual Miniport Adapter for Windows x64

4. Change the field to

Cisco AnyConnect VPN Virtual Miniport Adapter for Windows x64

Specified

by removing all the text and characters that are on the left of the word Cisco.

The end result should look like this:

Anyconnect Secure Gateway Error

5. Left-click the ‘OK’ button.

Quick Fix: VPN Session Ended Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility ...

6. Exit the Registry Editor

Cisco Anyconnect Was Not Able To Establish A Connection To The Specific Secure Gateway

7. Run Cisco AnyConnect VPN Client and reconnect.

Anyconnect Was Unable To Establish

That’s all there is to it. Good luck!
