FYI The zone protection profile didnt do much and the 2 rules i put in to allow approved applications (panos-web-interface, panos-global-protect etc) then a deny rule just under the allow rule for applications like ping, telnet and web-browsing. It seemed like this may have increased the amount of alerts i was getting, so today i disabled the allow rule and then created a separate rule, under the deny applications rule, to deny any application but only for port 80, this was because in our threat logs the alerts for outside to outside were for port 80 but it was saying the incomplete application. I have tested VPN gateway and portal access and all seems to be OK, so i will give it a few days to see if it has cut down on the alerts/attempts. Ive already seen a lot of things being blocked thanks to the deny on port 80 so i am feeling confident on this. Thanks for your help
