 +<code>

 + 
 +It appears that the Ubuntu package vpnc comes with an old version of vpnc-script.\\ 
 +This script is what sets up all the addresses and routes for you. The OpenConnect project\\ 
 +provides an updated / revised release of this script. Download the latest copy from [[http://git.infradead.org/users/dwmw2/vpnc-scripts.git/blob_plain/HEAD:/vpnc-script|here]].\\
