openconnect: Connect to a server.
$ openconnect ${vpn-example-org}
try on your machine

The command "openconnect ${vpn-example-org}" is attempting to establish a VPN connection using the OpenConnect software, substituting "${vpn-example-org}" with the actual VPN server or domain you want to connect to.

OpenConnect is an open-source SSL VPN client that allows you to connect to various VPN servers using different protocols like Cisco AnyConnect, GlobalProtect, and Juniper Pulse Connect Secure.

In this specific command, the "${vpn-example-org}" placeholder should be replaced with the actual VPN server or domain name you wish to connect to. For example, if you want to connect to a VPN server hosted by an organization named "vpn-example-org," you would replace "${vpn-example-org}" with the server's address or domain name.

Once the command is executed with the correct VPN server information, OpenConnect will initiate the connection process and establish a secure VPN tunnel between your machine and the VPN server. This will typically require authentication, such as providing a username and password or other credentials, depending on the specific VPN server's requirements.
