ChromeBook and Filtering on External Networks

P429-T — Mon, 14 Dec 2015 16:03:46 GMT

I'm asking this from a perspective a a school district. Chrome devices (specifically ChromeBooks) have skyrocketed in numbers over the past couple of years. I was hoping to see development of the GlobalProtect client to encompass the ChromeBook (ChromeOS) platform.

I guess what I'm asking for is an update to the previously asked thread:

https://live.paloaltonetworks.com/t5/General-Topics/Chromebook-and-GlobalProtect-VPN/m-p/4458#M3307

Is there a solution for utilizing a Chromebook on an external network using the PA as the filtering device?
