VPN, CISCO AnyConnect, Mac OS Version compatibility
Is the Cisco AnyConnect VPN compatible with Mac OS?
The current version of the Cisco Secure VPN client available through the WebStore is officially supported and compatible with Mac OS versions 13 (Ventura) and 14 (Sonoma).
Mac OS versions older than 13 (Ventura) are not officially supported but may work.
Additionally, when you connect to campus with the VPN it is the same as if your computer is attached to the wired or WiFi network on campus. The campus acceptable use policy applies to any computer connected to campus, and requires the computer to be running an OS currently supported by the vendor. Apple normally only provides security patches for the three most recent versions of their OS. For example when Mac OS 15 (Sequoia) came out, Apple stopped patching Mac OS 12, and only provides security patches for Mac OS 13, 14 and 15 so no computer with older software should connect to campus via the VPN.
