F5 VPN + Firefox Plugin Remote Access

Dear all,
the company I work for has implemented VPN access using the F5 (Big-ip client).

I have two laptop one with Mint installed from which I can access the network, and then another one with ArchLinux from which I can not.
On both laptops I use the firefox plugin to access through VPN. On Linux Mint everything works fine, while on Arch after the two-steps authentication
I receive a message saying that I am connected to the network (as in Linux Mint) but then only 164b of traffic are sent (always) and then I can not access my company network.

Does any of you uses the F5 VPN and the firefox plugin?
Can you help me find the problem and fix it?

Thanks a lot in advance for the help,

Cheers,
Luca

Re: F5 VPN + Firefox Plugin Remote Access

I had the same problem and created a docker container using ubuntu 14.04.
You can get it at:
https://registry.hub.docker.com/u/dejak … vpn-login/

or just do:

docker pull dejakaymac/ubuntu14-ppp-f5vpn-login

docker run --privileged –net host -ti dejakaymac/ubuntu14-ppp-f5vpn-login f5vpn-login user@server.com
