GlobalProtect
GlobalProtect is a cross-platform VPN.
Installation
The GlobalProtect client is available for Windows, MacOS,
Linux, Android aswell as iOs and iPadOS.
On some Linux distributions the package is called globalprotect-openconnect but the corresponding
command is called gpclient which can sometimes lead to confusion.
Usage
The usage of the GlobalProtect client is pretty simple. After starting the program the portal address has to be added and is followed by a login. Afterward the client will connect.
The standard command to connect to a VPN server is the following where
<vpn-server> is the domain of the server (for example vpn.abc.de).
gpclient connect <vpn-server>
GlobalProtect is usually used by bigger companies and universities like the University of Oldenburg which wrote a proper installation and usage guide for all the operating systems that are supported.
