Hello all. I have had an issue with PANOS since 7.0 (Currently I am on 9.0.2-h2) where the application id feature is not reliable in security rules. I can add a rule and for example lets say I allow ssl to 10.1.1.1 from 10.2.1.1 no user restrictions and just add the ssl application and commit. Then I try to access https on 10.1.1.1 from 10.2.1.1 and the traffic will be allowed. Then an hour later I try again and this time it will drop. When I go into monitor. Below is legitimate traffic being dropped because the application is "not-applicable"   In order to resolve this what I have to do is clone the rule and place it below or above and remove the applications and set it to any then set service to select and choose 443. I have so many redundant rules because of this and I am sick of doing it. Does anyone else have this problem or is it just me?  ... View more

Hello everyone. I am having an issue setting up a VPN from my Palo to my AWS Palo and was hoping someone can help. I did look at other AWS VPN issue but all i saw was issues with aws. This is something else. I have the tunnel up and established but traffic is not working. I see traffic leaving my palo over the correct tunnel interface but it gets lost somewhere along the way. Since I cannot see the encrypted tunnel traffic I have no clue if the aws palo is getting it.    I followed the Palo alto instructions for doing this which isnt much different than setting up a normal ipsec tunnel. The palo guide says to use NAT Traveral option in the IKE gateway which I have tried with no luck. By all rights it should be wotking. Any suggestions? ... View more

Hello. To start I had a DHCP server configured on one of the interfaces on our Palo 810 PanOS 8.1.2. The DHCP addresses being handed out were not being registered with our DNS server so I was tasked to make that happen. I figured I would just set up DHCP relay instead. Unfortunatly I cannot get DHCP relay to work because of some setting on the DHCP server (windows 2012 r12). I am not sure what the setting is , but what is goig on is the DHCP server is trying to hand out the wrong subnet ip. It should be getting a 10.0.1.0/24 IP but instead its handing out 10.0.0.0/24 IP. So the palo is dropping the traffic because its the wrong IP.    ANyone know what option needs to be set on the DHCP server for this to work properly? Altertativly if anyone knows how to have the palo run the DHCP server as before but update our DNS server with the records that would be great as well. Please let me know if anyone has any ideas this is driving me bonkers. ... View more

Is or has anyone else had the problem with applications and services being ignored in rules? I have had an issue from all version from 7.0 to 8.1. I have stopped using applications in rules all together because it will not identify the application and instead mark it as "not-applicable". I have the problem with services as well. For example I will create a rule and everything is 100% correct and I will add the service UDP 137 to the rule instead of netbios and it will still drop the **bleep** traffic. What good is a firewall if it doesnt allow the services you tell it to? I cant allow any any any on rules. This is becomming very frustrating.  ... View more
