GlobalProtect on Mac M1

[LucaMorelliIREN]

Hi everyone

Has anyone tried running GlobalProtect on one of the new Macs with the M1 processor under Rosetta2? Is it working?

Is a GlobalProtect version for Apple Silicon currently being developed?

@LucaMorelliIREN,

It's working with the 5.2.3 and 5.2.4 agent. I'm sure official support is being worked on, but I haven't noticed anything not working correctly in my current testing.

Thanks!

Just wanted to follow up on this thread to state that in GlobalProtect 5.2.5, the following feature was added:

GlobalProtect for ARM-Based macBooks Using Rosetta Translation

So, in other words, as long as the Rosetta Translation is running, that GP 5.2.5 will support the new M1 Arm Apple chips.

Hi @jdelio, thanks for the follow up!
I've been running the 5.2.4 version over Rosetta since the end of December and I haven't found any problem yet, but since the 5.2.5 is "certified" for M1 I'll upgrade to it soon.

I've been using it, and I'm getting very odd DNS issues. Multiple times during the day, my DNS stops working. It's always DNS, and I notice that my local router is not in the DNS list. I add it back, and all works.. but it KEEPS happening.

I can't positively identify GlobalProtect, but it is a likely suspect. Never had this on my previous mac..
