Does Meraki support geo-based VPN routing?

Does Meraki support geo-based VPN routing? For example, will the user have only one anyconnect profile, and will it route them to the nearest VPN location?

Example

 

A location

B location

C location

D location

E location

 

I should have one profile to connect and it should connect automatically one of these location based on nearest location

There is not native support for such a setup. In my limited experience with global load balancing, I also can't think of a third party way to do this but perhaps someone else has a way.

Not native on the local MX'es but I do believe in the secure connect solution you do have a form of dividing the users up into different datacenters.  Not sure if nearest is supported though.

Maybe if you use the users own country you could give them the profile with the URL closest to them or just provide them all with aliases that contain a country code.

You want to use the "Optimal Gateway Selection" feature in AnyConnect.  It causes it to connect to the fastest (which usually means closest) responding VPN head end.
