Connection Failed GlobalProtect on a Mac

L1 Bithead

I am having an issue logging into the VPN on my Apple devices. I can connect to the VPN via the windows laptop, but I cannot on my Apple laptop. I keep receiving this error message on the Macbook Pro "[Error]: Gateway VPN External Gateway: The network connection is unreachable, or the gateway is unresponsive. Check the network connection and reconnect.". I can successfully access the VPN on windows without any issues, and I am using the same credentials to log in. Has anyone encountered this issue before?

not had this error myself but i assume the login to the portal is OK, or is that failing too and using cached app config for gateway.  what happens when you browse to the portal.??

Login to the portal is fine. I can type in the portal address in a web browser and it comes up and I can login on the browser without any issues. I can also access the vpn on the windows without any issues either. The error message populates when I sign onto any Apple products via the vpn software. 

does the pangps log file show any useful info...  it would be worth checking if GP to portal is ok then fails on gateway only, any certs involved here?  also... i assume you have no gateway restrictions for windows only on firewall gateway settings.

This is in the logs:
