Could you make a client for Windows?

Dear Yuezk: Your work is very awesome. In fact, openconnect client for windows had not been update for several years. Could you make a GlobalProtect client for Windows? Please! I will donate to you!

This client is just for the GlobalProtect VPN. While openconnect supports various VPN. It could be a lot of work to do to develop a new GUI client for it. It's a challenge for me, and I cannot guarantee you. But it's still a good idea and I will keep it open.

Thank you very much! Anyconnect is not for free, and Openconnect-gui had not been updated for 3 years. There are not any openconnect client alternatives for Windows more. Please! We are waiting for you!

I'm not sure about openconnect but can't you use the origional client for GlobalProtect? I used it successfully on windows. https://docs.paloaltonetworks.com/globalprotect/4-1/globalprotect-app-user-guide/globalprotect-app-for-windows/download-and-install-the-globalprotect-app-for-windows.html#idf9d1968d-51fb-463b-8923-4c785cee5f18

Thanks for your Suggestion. My private vpn is established on vps with Ocserv. It's mean that it can only be connected by Openconnect/Cisco anyconnect protocol (Anyconnect client or Openconnect). Nowadays, there aren't any more client on windows can work with Ocserv.

Interesting. My bad!

I would be willing to try and work to contribute to helping make this work on Windows; however, I don't know what all would be necessary to make this work. I generally prefer open source clients than downloading proprietary software, this is the only open GlobalProtect client I found. Ideally I can crib a lot of the work from the OpenConnect Windows client. @yuezk if you can lay out what things would generally need to be modified to make this work, I'd be willing to try poking around and see what happens.
