it was called open client for cisco anyconnect vpn. I have been uninstalled anything having to do with vpn's. System is much more responsive now then before. Haven't noticed any ill effects yet. And the outgoing connection requests in the router logs have disappeared. So i think i can call this solved even though i do not know why open client for cisco anyconnect vpn was even installed or what was usng it.

As it said, it's a client for the Cisco AnyConnect VPN. If you need to connect to an AnyConnect VPN, it'll be quite useful. If you *don't* try to connect to an AnyConnect VPN, it won't be doing anything at all other than taking up a tiny bit of disk space. Removing it certainly won't make your system any more responsive; if you've observed that then it's just a coincidence.
