Hmmm. Yeah; that's a lot of overhead. Seems a shame to have to switch apps
because of a bad guy. That's an effective DOS attack, eh? I'd hesitate to
switch apps because I'd be afraid they'd do the same thing. But I don't know
the AnyConnect app either.

I seem to remember the VPN client could use certs as part of the auth. I
wonder if that feature could be utilized to block non-client access? I
haven't used the Cisco client for a year or so so I don't recall the
available options.
