If you have been connecting your Android or iPhone device to the VPN, you do not use GlobalProtect, our VPN software for MacOS and Windows computers. Instead, you have been using your phone's built-in VPN client using these instructions. As of June 2nd, 2022, we have updated our VPN settings, and to keep using the built-in client for your phone, please follow the instructions below.

Additionally, some users may have been using the built-in VPN client for MacOS. We no longer support this client, and ask that you use GlobalProtect on your Mac from this point forward. If you click the icon in the screenshot below, please follow the instructions to remove this connection from your Mac, and follow the instructions to install GlobalProtect instead.
