Cisco AnyConnect VPN Not work

[parmi93]

I have VMWare (with Ubuntu 20.10 - x64) installed on Windows 10 Pro.

I am using AnyConnect VPN with Windows 10 to connect to my corporate network and it works fine.

I would like to be able to connect to the corporate VPN via Ubuntu 20.10 as well (on VMWare Workstation 16 Player), currently not working properly, it looks like a DNS problem.

This is what happens with Ubuntu:

When I'm connected to the VPN (Internet does not work, but VPN works):

• ping 8.8.8.8 [work]
• ping www.google.co.uk [not work]
• ping www.<corporate_vpn>.com [work]

When I'm not connected to the VPN:

• ping 8.8.8.8 [work]
• ping www.google.co.uk [work]
• ping www.<corporate_vpn>.com [obviously it doesn't work]

Essentially the problem is that when I'm connected to the VPN, I can't use the internet (with Ubuntu)

Don't know, but what is the networking mode in Ubuntu networking (bridged or NAT)?

In the VMWare settings is selected: "NAT: Used to share the host's IP address"

According to this, it will not work in a standard case. Instead, you would need something specific from VMware. I hope VMware guys can give you a definite answer.
