The working of the Cisco AnyConnect VPN is completely different. The VPN has no built-in servers and access locations. It is a business level VPN. When a user connects to the AnyConnect VPN, the VPN will be connected to an adaptive security appliance by using SSL. With the adaptive security appliance, the end-user will get the unique IP address. The unique IP address can’t be traced. The VPN is mostly used in corporate places.
