OpenConnect is an open source based VPN client that was created as an alternative to Cisco's AnyConnect SSL VPN, now also supporting Pulse Connect Secure (formerly Juniper SSL VPN), and Palo Alto Networks GlobalProtect SSL VPN.
The OpenConnect functionality is part of the 'Client VPN' (VPN) upgrade package and license. It was added in NoTouch OS 2.40.4306.
- Download OpenConnect app for Android. OpenConnect is an SSL VPN client for Cisco AnyConnect and ocserv gateways.
- A GlobalProtect VPN client (GUI) for Linux based on Openconnect and built with Qt5, supports SAML auth mode, inspired by gp-saml-gui. Similar user experience as the official client in macOS. Supports both SAML and non-SAML authentication modes.
OpenConnect is a VPN client, that utilizes TLS and DTLS for secure session establishment, and is compatible with the CISCO AnyConnect SSL VPN protocol. OpenConnect-gui is the graphical client of OpenConnect for the Microsoft Windows system (or any other system Qt and OpenConnect run at).
Do not confuse OpenConnect and OpenVPN. OpenConnect is intended for Cisco, Pulse/Juniper and Palo Alto VPN products, whereas OpenVPN is a different, open source based solution. Both options are supported by NoTouch OS.

OpenConnect uses a sample vpnc-script that will probably work fine. If you experience routing issues, please see here: vpnc-script
The bundled software OpenConnect allows for much more detailed configuration. You can specify any command line option that you like, as for example defined in the OpenConnect man page. Whatever you specify here will be used verbatim, that means you need to familiarize with the OpenConnect software's documentation.
