Update: it turned out that the ‘unable to import certificate’ was a temporary problem and I was able to import the certificate the next day.I am no longer able to import certificate for my vpn in this app. (Error message: ‘import PKCS12 failed with error’)I imported the same certificate to anyconnect on another ipad (ios13)a couple months ago, and to legacy anyconnect on my current ipad (ios11) about a year ago. But now I can neither delete nor import the certificate in either anyconnect or legacy anyconnect on any of the two ipads.

VPN Automatically connects without user permission

At least once daily, at a random time of day, the VPN will connect automatically and with no notification that it has done so. The little VPN logo just pops up on the top left all of a sudden. Considering a VPN routes all traffic through Cisco's network, this is an unacceptable privacy invasion. Also annoying bc there are random websites like 9to5mac that are blocked by Cisco and before I realized what was happening, was confused as to why it wasn't loading suddenly. The only way to prevent this is to delete the app between uses and reinstall. Before using the VPN for the first time each install, it won't auto connect so I basically avoid this app like the plague.I do work at Cisco and yes it does. Something is turning it on without me opening any Cisco apps including any connections so this is because of Cisco not another IT department

Developer Response
AnyConnect does not automatically connect; it is only triggered by the UI or by On-Demand or Per-App VPN profiles configured on the device. If these profiles are pushed to your device by your IT department we have no control over that. Also, the VPN traffic does not go over Cisco's network (unless you work for Cisco); it travels through your own corporate network to which you are connecting.

This review is specifically for the product logo. Who designed it? A 1st grader? It looks awful, like zero effort or thought went into the “design”. Seriously, who approved the change? The previous logo was better. It was obvious, unique, and did not need to be changed. The previous color pallet was warm and timeless. Who went into a board meeting and said “our design is no good, we need just a black circle and a singe curved green line. That makes it look better.” That person was an moron and I hope you read this and realize your graphic design skills are stuck in 2002. Why not just a single black line? Why not just a white square? Change it back, you hooligans.
