GOD DAMN YOU, Cisco AnyConnect!

Argh@!!

That's about all I can say about Cisco's AnyConnect VPN client. It fucking endlessly pisses me the hell off: It refuses to allow RDP (Windows' Remote Desktop) connections to connect to your VPN, forcing you to log in locally to that machine (no matter how fucking cumbersome that process may be...)

It wouldn't be so bad, if it "allowed" you to connect to a VPN over Remote Desktop. Now, I know that controlling VPN connections from RDP has security implications, HOWEVER- why should it matter when I'm using RDP from a LAN?

Earth to Cisco- get your fucking act together. Add an "Allow VPN (dis)connect from Remote Desktop" option and gasp, don't fucking enable it by default, jesus!
