OpenConnect-GUI VPN client

Originally created to replace the security-orientated Cisco AnyConnect SSL VPN, OpenConnect is SSL VPN client that, as expected, allows you to connect to various secure point-to-point private networks.

Since handling OpenConnect requires a little bit of command line knowledge, it's understandable if you might be looking for a more user-friendly solution.

Meet OpenConnect-GUI VPN client, a rather simplistic utility that provides you with a compact GUI to get about while using OpenConnect. Before anything, we should point out that the application is still in a fairly young, Beta development stage.

The application does not require any kind of special treatments when it comes to its deployment process. Simply let yourself be guided by the typical wizard-based installer and, in just a couple of seconds, you should be greeted by the app's compact main window.

There are two main tab sections, one that allows you to add, configure and connect to various profiles and VPN servers, while the other offers you detailed information regarding the chosen private networks such as IPv4, DNS, DTLS Cipher, as well as download and upload counters.

It's also worth pointing out that, in spite of its barren looks, the utility presents good taskbar integration. Once you configure one or two profiles, you can literally use the app without having to access its main window only with the help of its taskbar menu.

While we're on the subject, you should also know that you can configure the app to minimize to the tray area, to minimize instead of closing and to start as minimized.

To end with, OpenConnect-GUI VPN client does exactly what a typical VPN client should do: make the overall service more accessible, increase user productivity by simplifying the workflow and be as unobtrusive as possible.
