Exclude Zoom from GlobalProtect

L3 Networker

Hello,

 

I'm working on excluding Zoom from GlobalProtect.  I came across this article

https://knowledgebase.paloaltonetworks.com/KCSArticleDetail?id=kA10g000000PPDSCA4&lang=en_US%E2%80%A...

 

For windows, there is an error, instead of excluding %AppData%\Roaming\Zoom, you just need to use %AppData%\Zoom, as %AppData% already takes you into the roaming folder.   With this correction, I'm not seeing any issues on Windows OS

 

For macOS, I'm not having any success.  If I exclude path /Applications/zoom.us.app/Contents/MacOS/zoom.us , the users cannot even join a meeting.  They get an "unable to connect" message.   I tried removing ".app" from the path.  This allows them to connect but I see zoom-meeting (443/8801) traffic going through the firewalls.

 

I should not this is all without excluding any of the domain names

 

Has anyone been able to get this to work on macOS?

Perhaps something to try, if you go to your GlobalProtect Gateway settings, exclude video traffic without needing to specify application path?

@LAYER_8 thanks for the response.   I was able to get it working.  The issue I was having was due to a sophos limitation.  Seems to be fixed in their latest version

@securehops Did you remove the application exclusions completely and still have it work? I have noticed my MacOS users are having some issues with the failure to connect until they connect to the VPN for the first time.
