Restrict VPN Users to certain applications

L0 Member

Is there a way to restrict some VPN users to only be able to access some applications (ports / servers)?

Absolutely.

Palo is using positive enforcement  model - everything that is not permitted is blocked by default.

Are your VPN using landing in dedicated VPN zone?

Best practice would be to permit based on users/groups what they need.

If you allow any then you have to block things that you don't want those specific users to access.

User ID and AD Groups is how we do it. 

The rule look like this take for example SSL only

 

NAME, SRC Zone=GlobalProtect, Source Address=IP Range of the GP Clients, Src User: DOMAIN\Group name, DestZone= Internal, Dest Address = Group things they need to access, Application=SSL, Service = Port if necessary.  ALLOW

 

 

This is very helpful.  We haven't implemented UserID yet, any way to do this with local users?

 

I assume that by VPN you mean GlobalProtect.

Sure you can use local users. GlobalProtect will identify users and you can see them in Monitor > Traffic under Source User Tab.
