I am trying to connect to my university's VPN. I have installed the CLI version of globalprotect on my laptop running Arch Linux. The university pointed me to a location to download a tarball with 5.1.1.0-17 debian packages. I believe I have successfully installed fine (although a reboot was needed). I receive the following error when I try to use the CLI to connect via (note username and institution redacted to protect the innocent): >> globalprotect connect --portal vpn.<MyInstitution> --username <MyInstitutionUsername> Retrieving configuration...                                              Retrieving configuration...                                              Failed to connect to vpn.<MyInstitution>. Error: No Network Connectivity. Please verify your network connection and try again.       For what I can tell the gpd service appears to be up and running fine: >> sudo systemctl status gpd                      ● gpd.service - GlobalProtect VPN client daemon     Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/gpd.service; enabled; vendor preset: disabled)     Active: active (running) since Tue 2020-08-25 08:31:43 EDT; 40min ago    Process: 74461 ExecStartPre=/opt/paloaltonetworks/globalprotect/pre_exec_gps.sh (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS)   Main PID: 74463 (PanGPS)      Tasks: 13 (limit: 38064)     Memory: 22.7M     CGroup: /system.slice/gpd.service             └─74463 /opt/paloaltonetworks/globalprotect/PanGPS Aug 25 08:31:43 plato systemd[1]: Starting GlobalProtect VPN client daemon...

I have also thoroughly read through the GlobalProtect User Guide PDF Linux sections.* Unfortunately I am at a loss of what to try next. Can any kind person offer some suggestions?!   * I have also tried to install the GUI version in Linux but seem to be held up by a missing dependency: libqt5webkit5. I found a qt5-webkit in Arch Extra, but that didn't fix the dependency issue. ... View more
