Unfortunately, the Cisco AnyConnect client for Mac conflicts with Pow. And by "conflicts", I mean it causes a grey-screen-of-death kernel panic anytime you connect to the VPN and Pow is installed.

As an alternative, there is OpenConnect, a command-line client for Cisco's AnyConnect SSL VPN.

Here's how to get it set up on Mac OS X:

1. OpenConnect can be installed via homebrew:

    brew update
   

brew install openconnect

crtr0

// set-up a connection between the client and the server
var socket = io.connect();

// let's assume that the client page, once rendered, knows what room it wants to join
var room = "abc123";

socket.on('connect', function() {
   // Connected, let's sign-up for to receive messages for this room
   socket.emit('room', room);
});
