Good news, I just tried openconnect and it just worked.

Kona is my work machine on campus.

Welcome to Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS (GNU/Linux 4.15.0-47-generic x86_64)
Last login: Fri Apr 19 22:11:00 2019 from 128.120.234.60

128.120.234.60 is a campus IP (provided by the VPN) and is not my comcast IP.

Same directions from my post in 2016:

   sudo apt install openconnect
   sudo /usr/sbin/openconnect --juniper vpn.library.ucdavis.edu

Sadly they block IPv4 ssh (port 22) to the internet.  Gmail, youtube, and random
sites seem to work.

They however do not block IPv6 ssh to the internet... "Shhh. Be vewy vewy quiet,"
