FYI:

globalprotect-openconnect has been committed to the FreeBSD ports collection. It might be helpful to users if you could post a message like the following on your website:

Thanks!

globalprotect-openconnect can be installed on FreeBSD via the FreeBSD ports system.

To install via the binary package, simply run:

pkg install globalprotect-openconnect

This will very quickly install a prebuilt package and all run-time dependencies using only highly-portable optimizations, much like apt, yum, etc.

FreeBSD ports can just as easily be built and installed from source, although it will take longer (for the computer, not for you):

cd /usr/ports/security/globalprotect-openconnect
make install

Building from source allows installing to a different prefix, compiling with native optimizations, and in some cases, building with non-default options such as different compilers or dependencies. For example, adding

CFLAGS+=-march=native

to /etc/make.conf will cause ports built from source to use all native optimizations known to the compiler for the local CPU, resulting in faster but less portable binaries.
