  "why_use_this": "OpenConnect is a lightweight alternative to Cisco\u0027s official client, supporting AnyConnect VPN, Pulse Secure, Fortinet FortiGate, and other proprietary VPN protocols. It\u0027s particularly useful for Linux and macOS users who need reliable VPN access without vendor lock-in or bloated GUI applications. Single-binary deployment and scriptable via CLI make it ideal for headless systems and automation."
