I can't say how big the \etc\hosts file is because I was brought into the discussion as a favor to one of our Exec's friends. &nbsp;One of those late evening calls out of the blue where someone's own IT department isn't getting it done so they start shaking the friend tree. &nbsp;:-) &nbsp;I reviewed how I would approach the problem and noted the 107MB hosts.ac sounded weird. &nbsp;Never a dull moment.

I had someone call me who was having problems with their Cisco Anyconnect Disconnecting regularly. &nbsp;He is running Windows 7 and notices that the C:\Windows\System32\driver<wbr />s\etc\host<wbr />s.ac file is growing to like 107MB in size. &nbsp;I don't usually use Anyconnect but that sounded rather odd that a hosts file could grow that large. &nbsp;Would that be considered normal behavior? &nbsp;Thanks. &nbsp;Any other thoughts on trouble shooting Anyconnect more generally?

A virtual private network (VPN) is a network that uses a public telecommunication infrastructure, such as the Internet, to provide remote offices or travelling users access to a central organizational network securely. VPNs encapsulate data transfers using secure cryptographic methods and other security mechanisms to ensure that only authorized users can access the network and that the data cannot be intercepted.

Network Operations includes asset management, help-desk supervision, security and user policies, infrastructure administration and anything else that affects the operation of your network. Discussions will include those of best practices in platforms, configurations, performance, security and accounting.
