Access Cisco AnyConnect VPN from Linux Mint 18

How do I accomplish the same in Linux Mint 18.1 (based on Ubuntu 16.04 Xenial)?

I have the network-manager-vpnc-gnome package, which is what I assume I need; however it requires a «Group Name.»

# use your own vpn gateway my_vpn_gateway=your.vpn.gateway.com # connect sudo openvpn --mktun --dev tun1 sudo ifconfig tun1 up # this command will prompt for credentials sudo openconnect $my_vpn_gateway --interface=tun1 # disconnect sudo ifconfig tun1 down sudo openvpn --rmtun --dev tun1 

While this works, I’ll hold off a bit on marking it as the answer in case a GUI solution turns up.

1. Use Server IP address:Port (e.g.: 111.111.111.111:443) in Gateway . [Note : Make sure to replace with actual IP of the router and the port over which the VPN is running)
2. Use User Name and Password and keep Group name blank.
3. In IPv4 tab chose Automatic option and save it.

Thanks, Abhik, but as I mentioned in the OP, Group name is required—the Save button is disabled if it is empty.
