I am also haveing issues with cisco anyconnect on M1 macbook pro but it doesn't crash my docker. I'm am able to connect/diconnect with docker enabled without any problems. The only problem I have is that the docker containers can't access VPN networks (vpn passthrough). This seems to work fine on my Intel based macbook pro. Nov 17, 2020 I was able to download and open a bunch of apps from third parties that weren't built for M1, like Spotify, Cisco AnyConnect, Geekbench and Google Chrome. They worked just fine. They worked just fine.

The new SafeNet Authentication Client 10.2.111 for MacOS now can be downloaded from our website. This new version supports the following MacOS and browsers.

The new SafeNet Authentication Client is also compatible with Cisco AnyConnect Client (adminsys VPN).

For Mac machine with Apple M1 processor users only:

Users who have a Mac machine with Apple M1 processor won’t be able to use eToken in any supported browsers by default. The following steps are required to make the eToken work in the supported browsers.

1. Open a Terminal and run the following command in it. /usr/sbin/softwareupdate –install-rosetta
2. Quit the browser you want to use for eToken login completely.
3. Open Finder, and find Applications -> Firefox/Chrome/Safari
4. Right click on your chosen browser and select “Get Info”
5. In the application Info window, check the box next to “Open using Rosetta” and close the application info window.
   
6. Firefox users need to follow the instructions on our website to load the eToken module into Firefox. Chrome and Safari users can skip this step.
7. Then start the browser again and go to the website that requires eToken login. The eToken should be recognized by the browser now.

Objective

This article shows you how to download and install the Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client version 4.8 on a Mac Computer. This article is applicable only to Cisco Business products that includes the RV34x series routers and not Enterprise products.

Introduction

AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client is a modular endpoint software product. It not only provides Virtual Private Network (VPN) access through Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and Internet Protocol Security (IPsec) Internet Key Exchange version2 (IKEv2) but also offers enhanced security through various built-in modules. Why use a VPN? A VPN connection allows users to access, send, and receive data to and from a private network by means of going through a public or shared network such as the Internet but still ensuring a secure connection to an underlying network infrastructure to protect the private network and its resources.
