I remember reading some where Palo Alto firewalls works like a client to access remote VPN servers
eg I can setup the PALO to access a OpenVPN server and give access to user on my palo managed local network to access that remote resource, than user installing the OpenVPN application on their computer and connecting.
Hope I'm making any sense. all I need is a location on the Palo docs I can't seems to find it. I pretty sure I read that,
Thank you in advance

the palo firewall can only connect to a peer using traditional IPSec connections, it cannot act as a P2S client

OpenVPN users are able to connect to a GlobalProtect gateway as a 3rd party vpn client
The Palo firewall cannot connect to openvpn as it (openvpn) does not support IPSec
if your users need to connect to an openvpn server, you'll need to set a security rule allowing these connections from the users to the remote server

Thank you forget the openvpn server I said that as an example.
If the end vpn-server supports IPSec connection then can I use Palo to connect ? like azure point to site VPN ? I want to know where you configure this setting.
All the docs I find are for site to site connection
