I don't know what this is, But your insane documentation helped me reverse engineer my global protect software at my school.

"What this is" is a full-featured client for GlobalProtect VPNs. It's since been merged upstream, and now lives at https://gitlab.com/openconnect/openconnect and https://www.infradead.org/openconnect … which is why only the documentation is left behind here :smile:

What did you need to figure out about your school's GP VPN that OpenConnect doesn't already do?

Well, “bypass” the fulters persay. This is a super neat project, and the documentation left in the dust was much better than the cruddy one I’m working on.

I just want to add my voice of thanks, great documentation and helpful discussion to figure out my issue. (For me, it turned out that I needed to find the URL for the specific "gateway" to my University's VPN, otherwise openconnect wouldn't work)

Thanks @markwmuller!

In recent versions of OpenConnect, we've tried pretty damn hard to make OpenConnect support either the gateway or the portal interfaces of GlobalProtect VPNs as entry points.

Take a look at https://gitlab.com/openconnect/openconnect/-/issues/?label_name%5B%5D=protocol%3A%3AGlobalProtect, and feel free to support a new report if you think we can improve something there.
