TERMS OF USE
This service is provided by the Georgia Institute of Technology. Any user of this service must comply with all Institute and Board of Regents policies, including the Acceptable Use Policy, Cyber Security Policy and Data Privacy Policy (http://b.gatech.edu/it-policies). While Georgia Tech upholds a commitment to respecting the privacy expectations of all employees and students, please be aware that any electronic information transmitted over or stored in Georgia Tech systems and networks is subject to audit, inspection, and disclosure to fulfill administrative or legal obligations. It is important to note that any personal communications and files transmitted over or stored on Georgia Tech systems are also subject to the same regulations as business communications.
Before connecting to the GlobalProtect network,
you must download and install the GlobalProtect app on your Windows
endpoint. To ensure that you get the right app for your organization’s
GlobalProtect or Prisma Access deployment, you must download the
app directly from a GlobalProtect portal within your organization.
For this reason, there is no direct GP app download link available
on the Palo Alto Networks site.
To download and install the
app, you must obtain the IP address or fully qualified domain name (FQDN)
of the GlobalProtect portal from the administrator. In addition,
your administrator should verify which username and password information
you can use to connect to the portal and gateways. In most instances,
the username and password, is the same username and password that
you use to connect to your corporate network. After you gather the
required information, use the following steps to download and install
the app:
To run GlobalProtect app 5.0 and above, Windows
endpoints require Visual C++ Redistributables 12.0.3 for Visual
Studio 2013. If you have not already installed any redistributable packages
on your endpoint, the GlobalProtect app installs Visual C++ Redistributables
12.0.3 automatically. If you have already installed Visual C++ Redistributables
12.0.2 or an earlier release, you must either uninstall the existing
redistributable packages from your endpoint or upgrade to Visual C++
Redistributables 12.0.3 prior to installing the GlobalProtect app.
-
Log in to the GlobalProtect portal.
-
Launch a web browser and go to the following
URL:https://<portal IP address or FQDN>
Example:
http://gp.acme.com
-
On the portal login page, enter your
Name
(username) and
Password
,
and then clickLOG IN
. In most instances,
you can use the same username and password that you use to connect
to your corporate network.
-
-
Navigate to the app download page.
In most instances, the app download page appears immediately
after you log in to the portal. Use this page to download the latest
app software package.If your
system administrator has enabled GlobalProtect Clientless VPN access,
the applications page opens after you log in to the portal (instead
of the app download page). SelectGlobalProtect Agent
to
open the download page. -
Download the app.
-
To begin the download, click the software
link that corresponds to the operating system running on your computer.
If you are not sure whether the operating system is 32-bit or 64-bit,
ask your system administrator before you proceed. -
Open the software installation file.
-
When prompted,
Run
the software.
-
When prompted again,
Run
the
GlobalProtect Setup Wizard.
-
-
Complete the GlobalProtect app setup.
-
In the GlobalProtect Setup Wizard, click
Next
.
-
Click
Next
to accept the default
installation folder (C:Program FilesPalo Alto NetworksGlobalProtect)
and then clickNext
twice.
Although you can
Browse
to
select a different location in which to install the GlobalProtect
app, the best practice is to install it in the default location.
The default installation location is read-only for non-privileged
users and therefore installing to this location protects against
malicious access to the app. -
After installation is complete,
Close
the
wizard.

Launch the GlobalProtect app by clicking
the system tray icon. The status panel opens. -

GlobalProtect administrator provided, and then clickConnect

) By default, you are automatically
connected to theBest Available
gateway,
based on the configuration that the administrator defines and the
response times of the available gateways. To connect to a different
gateway, select the gateway from theGateway
drop-down
(for external gateways only).This option is only available if your administrator
enables manual gateway selection. -
(
Optional
) Depending on the connection mode,
clickConnect
to initiate the connection.
-
(
Optional
) If prompted, enter your
Username
and
Password
,
and then clickSign In
.
If your administrator has allowed you to use biometric
(fingerprint) information to sign in, you need to first sign-in
with a username and password twice (once to save it and again to authenticate);
you can then use biometric information to sign in.If authentication
is successful, you are connected to your corporate network, and
the status panel displays theConnected

welcome page, it displays after you log in successfully.

Spams false notifications — otherwise fine
By Nickbl (Pcmac user)
The app does its job when it comes to vpn connection. However, when your internet blips (say switches from WiFi to cellular, or from no service to service) you get a push notification that says “connection failure” — but this means nothing as the app gracefully reconnects so the notification is useless. Also if you disable the notifications the app prompts you every time you open it to enable them, which is also a pain.

Just the worst
By Lock smith (Pcmac user)
This thing can’t reconnect for crap. When it does have trouble reconnecting, it goes into a panic mode, constantly spamming reconnect errors. It doesn’t give you a chance to fix the issue in settings. Instead it overrides anything you do to say it can’t connect! You have to uninstall it and reinstall in order for it to shut up and give you a chance to fix the issue. Don’t use this. I’m just forced to use this for work. It’s just the worst

SLoooooooow to update….
By dhow2 (Pcmac user)
Every year when new iOS comes out this app is broken for some amount of time. Isn’t that why developers have access to betas ahead of public release??? To test their apps with that new release and get things worked out ahead of it? Literally this is the only app I usually have issues with at iOS update time.

Don’t tell me to contact my IT support team
By iPhonePhreakazoid (Pcmac user)
This app stinks. No feedback that it is trying to connect. Nothing. Agree with the sentiment that the second worse thing is the desktop app.
I’m a cloud architect and see accounts all the time moving their crappy PANs up to the public cloud and having to buy dozens of them. Time to stop that madness and recommend alternatives.
