Global Protect Region based connection

Sanjay_Ramaiah — Fri, 16 Jun 2023 07:33:24 GMT

Hi Team,

We have a requirement to configure the Global Protect as below.

> We have 3 locations to connect to.

Users should connect to one of these 3 locations based on their nearby location. If User 1 is near to GW3 then he should connect to GW3. If GW3 is not available, then the next nearest location should be connected automatically. Is this possible?

If so what is the best way to acheive this?

Regards,

Sanjay S

Hi @Sanjay_Ramaiah ,

Make all of your gateways the same priority, and the GP client should pick the one with the lowest latency.

OK so why would you need to do this...... and are you talking geo location as in different countries or just in different towns/cities

Hi Mick, it is different cities/towns.
