macOS AnyConnect Installation

GhostArc uses AnyConnect to provide easy to use VPN services that are supported in macOS and can be automatically updated each time you connect your Mac to any of our VPN appliances. To download and install the AnyConnect client on your Mac, click the download client button when logged into your account dashboard, and then follow these instructions:

While logged into the dashboard on the website, create a new credential by clicking the manage credentials button. If you are using a browser on macOS, you will automatically receive a file with a .mobileconfig extension. This file contains your encryption certificate for authenticating to our service. Double click on the .mobileconfig file and allow the profile to be installed.

If you want to verify that the certificate and private key were installed correctly, open the KeyChain Access utility in your /Applications/Utilities folder, then choose "Login" in the upper left and "My Certificates" in the lower left of the Keychain Access program. You should see a certificate like the one below (the username on yours will be random for your privacy).
