## Cisco AnyConnect VPN
207+
208+
When the Cisco AnyConnect VPN is active at the same time as the Boundary Client Agent, DNS resolution may fail for Boundary aliases.
209+
210+
The Boundary Client Agent by default uses the IPv4 range `100.x.x.x` for its local proxies. The Cisco AnyConnect VPN treats this range as a **secured range**, which forces DNS queries to resolve through the VPN instead of the Boundary Client Agent. As a result, Boundary aliases cannot be resolved.
211+
212+
You can configure the Boundary Client Agent to use a different IPv4 prefix by setting the `v4_prefix` option in the client configuration file. This setting overrides the default `100.x.x.x` range and avoids the conflict with Cisco AnyConnect VPN.
213+
214+
For example:
215+
```hcl
216+
v4_prefix = "172.16.0.0/12"
217+
```
218+
<Note>
219+
220+
You can set the `v4_prefix` to any valid RFC1918 private IPv4 range, as long as it does not overlap with ranges secured by the VPN. Common options include:
221+
222+
- `10.0.0.0/8`
223+
- `172.16.0.0/12`
224+
225+
Choose a range that best fits your environment.
