Also, using SSHFS to look at the same server to which I connect successfully using SSH doesn't work either. I have no working knowledge but I suspect the problems are connected to the UDP protocol.

That looks line an MTU issue. Retry by reducing the MTU to verify
that. If that's the case I'd appreciate if you could test openconnect
with auto-mtu detection at:
https://github.com/nmav/openconnect-mine

[you'd need to compile with gnutls for that]
