GlobalProtect VPN

L0 Member

Hello,

I am currently working in North America and regularly use GlobalProtect VPN to connect to my organization's network without any issues. In the near future, I may need to travel to Pak and continue working remotely

I understand that the Pak government has recently imposed restrictions on VPN usage. This raises concerns about whether GlobalProtect will function properly in the region

I would like to know:

  1. Are there any known challenges with using GlobalProtect VPN in Pak due to these restrictions
  2. Are there specific configurations or settings I should adjust to ensure seamless connectivity (e.g., protocols, ports, gateways)?
  3. Does Palo Alto Networks have recommendations for handling VPN usage in countries with regulatory restrictions?

Any advice or shared experiences from users who have successfully used GlobalProtect in Pak would be greatly appreciated

Thank you!

1. by default GlobalProtect is capable of falling back to SSL if IPSec is unavailable. if your org allows GP to connect over SSL this would allow you to connect

2. for you nothing should change, but your company's GP Gateway needs to support ssl

on a sidenote, it looks like they scrapped the plans to block VPN: https://www.techradar.com/pro/vpn/pakistan-vpn-ban-how-to-stay-safe-online-and-bypass-restrictions#:...

Thank you Reaper!

I will check within organization as you have suggested for SSL.
