About this app

GlobalProtect for Android connects to a GlobalProtect gateway on a Palo Alto Networks next-generation firewall to allow mobile users to benefit from enterprise security protection.

The app automatically adapts to the end user’s location and connects the user to the best available gateway in order to deliver optimal performance for all users and their traffic, without requiring any effort from the user. This allows users to work safely and effectively at locations outside of the traditional office.

Works but incredibly annoying. Constantly running in the background and showing in notifications. It will randomly ding or vibrate to tell me it's running - I don't care, why are you telling me? I'm not using the app right now! Have to either force close or change notifications settings to block all notifications from it. Update the app and you're back to square one.

Mostly works exactly as you'd expect. One annoying issue, though - it starts every time my phone reboots, which is never what I want. The only way to close it is kill the app via system settings, otherwise it will continue to run in the background even when not connected to VPN. If they fixed that, it would be pretty much the ideal workplace VPN.

This app worked until the last update - since then, I can never get it to work. I know it's a certificate issue, but it's supposed to prompt me to continue anyway, but it doesn't, it just says error and cancels the connection. Edit: version 5.1.0 - still won't connect with message about invalid certificate, no option to override.
