Global Protect trying to connect somewhere else

I am seeing this atlease with my system and has not been reported by anyother user. I have seen this happenin before on my system with older version of GP(4.X) also. But it ould resolve on system restart or after few tries but not today.

GP seems to try to connect to unkown IP's to me and wouldn't connect with our corporate portal.

I don't where these IP's are getting in from, And during this time i don't see even single attempt in system logs with m username.

Using IP instead of domain name(vpn.xyz.com) also doen't work.

Hi @raji_toor

This is because of the captive portal detection of global protect. To check if there is a captive portal that prevents the connection, GP tries to connect to 3 different http websites of google, microsoft and apple (these websites are only there for captive portal reasons) to check if the request is redirected to a captive portal login website.

Any idea how you can completely disable the captive portal. The GP solution I am running will never require a user with a captive portal so I would like to have it disabled.
