[c-nsp] Cisco VPN and 64 bit Windows

[Jonathan Charles]

The short answer is... no.

Cisco said they will never release a 64-bit version of their VPN Client.

However, Anyconnect has a 64-bit variant, however, this requires a
separate license for the ASA...

There is a third-party VPN client for 64-bit that works fine:
