See the FAQ at the bottom of this page: AnyConnect on the MX Appliance - Cisco Meraki Documentation

 

In short, you cannot establish AnyConnect from within the network.

I checked.

I already was using it as a URL that was set up by default.

You can create a DNS entry in your domain manager pointing to your MX's public IP.

I am not a Cisco Meraki employee. My suggestions are based on documentation of Meraki best practices and day-to-day experience.

Please, if this post was useful, leave your kudos and mark it as solved.

I was using it as a URL that was set up by default. I don't know at what point it started not working, but I recognized it after the customer asked me, and I didn't change any settings until this point.

If you repeat the nslookup but do it against Googles 8.8.8.8 server does it work?

 

Does your MX have a public IP on its WAN interface, or is it sitting behind another device doing NAT?

 

Are you doing the test from outside of your network?  It won't work when testing from the inside.

 

Do you live in a country that could be filtering your Internet access?

there is some NAT rule due to something service related to voice.

However, regardless of this, the DNS call response worked normally, so there was no problem in trying the Anyconnect SSLVPN connection through the URL.

 

I also change local DNS from Private IP to 8.8.8.8 and tried DNS query.
But It was still no working DNS reply.
