GlobalProtect VPN Connection Failed - Wire Guard

Jon_Palo92 — Thu, 10 Jul 2025 16:04:14 GMT

Hello folks,

I have a Unify firewall at home has a VPN setup to the NordVPN servers. There are two types of VPNs:

1) OpenVPN
2) Wire Guard VPN

My work GlobalProtect VPN is working normal with the OpenVPN, but it is not working with the Wire Guard for some reason and I don't see a blocked traffic for that.

Does anyone know or had similar situation before ?

Hi @Jon_Palo92 ,

I haven't used wireguard, but I found a thread on r/paloaltonetworks that might help guide you.

"I've had to create a custom app with a 120 sec session timeout on Palo before to allow it though. The palo was closing the UDP session as the keep-alives for the wireguard session were too far apart" - Wireguard Config on Palo
