Am unable to make CharlesProxy work on Android or iOS device. The laptop and mobile devices are behind Anyconnect VPN. Any pointers here would help. Thanks.

I had an issue with Charles and AnyConnect for a long time:
If I opened Charles first, AnyConnect would just spin on the 'Contacting [host]...." and never open the panel to enter credentials.
If I opened AnyConnect and connected to the host first Charles would not monitor any network traffic.
I stumbled on this (non-technical) solution which always works for me (though I don't understand why):
- Close both AnyConnect and Charles Proxy.
- Open AnyConnect and click the "Connect" button but do NOT enter your credentials yet.
- Open Charles.
- Enter you credentials to connect with AnyConnect.
VPN is now connected and Charles monitors all network traffic.
Works for me every time.
Basically, VPN doesn't cooperate well with any Proxy Tools.
You might fix it by open the Cisco AnyConnect VPN Preference -> Select "Block Connection to untrusted server".
Then opening Charles Proxy or Proxyman first, then open the VPN later.
