Cisco AnyConnect CLI loging and MOTD

Create a new alias within bash/zsh to connect or disconnect from the VPN with ease. No clicking required!

---

To install:

• Clone .vpnStatus.sh, .motd.sh and .vpn_creds to ~/
• Run chmod +x ~/.vpnStatus.sh ~/.motd.sh && echo -e "alias vpn='~/.vpnStatus.sh'\n~/.motd.sh" | tee -a ~/.bashrc ~/.zshrc && source ~/.bashrc && source ~/.zshrc within your terminal
• Extra: Download a different terminal such as iTerm2 or Warp to not run into the issues that the default Mac terminal causes with this script
• • Also check out iterm2's and Warp's drop-down terminals
• Edit .vpn_creds with your own information
• • username being the username you'd find when connecting to AnyConnect
• • password being the password you'd use to connect
• • Completely remove username and password and replace them with your own values. Leave y as is.

Within Warp or iTerm2, start a new terminal tab or exit and then open up a terminal instance again to see if you're connected to the vpn.

To connect:

• Ensure that Cisco AnyConnect is not running

• Enter vpn in the terminal to be prompted to connect ("y" or "n"). This will also notify you whether you're currently connected or not.
