   Yes, there is a similar set of entries with INC which I should have been   
   using. It is exactly same as EXC but with INC instead.

   Agreed. I meant   
   255.255.0.0 Is that 16 or 32 ?   
      
   Anyway, it seems to be working.

   CISCO_INC_EXC at the end.

   Yes, and it does work. All the tun routes disappear when I close   
   openconnect.   
   Is there some openconnect command that tells the running version to   
   quit?
