Updated: Feb 27, 2022

GLOBAL PROTECT


There are three components


Global Protect Portal: : Can Have Multiple Gateway [Multiple Firewall to connect Main,DR]

Global Protect Gateway: : There can be multiple Firewalls [Main, DR]

Global Protect Client: : Must be downloaded and activated on PAFW


Step1: Create a New Zone e.g., GPZONE and enable "USER IDENTIFICATION"

Step2: Create a Tunnel Interface and put it in GPZONE

Step3: Generate self-signed digital certificate or install CA Certificate [both Root & Identity Certificate]

Common Name: Firewall External Interface IP address or FQDN [Fully Qualified Domain Name]

Step4: Create Authentication Profile and allow all users or specific Users/Groups

Step5: Create User from local user database or Use external User database [AD database]

Step6: Create Global Protect Gateway

Step7: Add Global Protect Portal

Interface: Outside Physical Interface

Authentication: Authentication Profile

TLS / SSL Profile: Create New Profile with self-signed digital certificate.

Step8: Create Security Policy

Step9: Commit


Step 1:


Download & activate a software of Global client in Firewall which you want to use.


Devices --> Global Protect Client



Step 2: Create New Tunnel Interface & also new Zone "VPN". No ip is required to be assigned to tunnel.


In Zone enable user Identification







Step 3: Device --> Certificate Management --> Certificates --> Generate






Step 4: Get Certificate Trusted








Step 5:


Create SSL/TLS Profile:

Device --> Certificate Management --> SSL/TLS Service Profile





Step 6: Create Local Users / or AD database can be used





Step 7: Create Authentication Profile to allow which user can access RAVPN.

We chose all users.





Multi Factor Authentication can also be enabled. You may see list of supported vendors.





Step 8: Create GP_GATEWAY


Network --> Gateway


This Gateway can either be external interface of Fw or ip from Public ip Pool.




To enforce client certificate authentication, select Certification Profile.





SSL Authentication is generally required to connect to Gateway & download certificate.






Add ip pool which will be assigned by firewall to client systems.





Add the subnet for which if traffic originates then only pass-through VPN tunnel.

This 192.168.204.0/24 is our internal subnet.




We are required to provide DNS server ip if we don't enable split tunnel. As then all traffic going to internet will to pass through firewall.





Step 9: Now do similar config for Portal


Network --> Global Protect --> Portal






Under Agent we also need to specify certificate which will be installed on client.






Define the ip as well as region from where user can connect.





There is an option to add third party VPN for Cisco or Juniper



Step 10


Define Security Policy for VPN User









Security Policies to require to allow traffic i.e. from VPN Zone to DMZ or Inside.


Note: SSL ,panos-global-protect & panos-web-interface must be allowed in Application (in case any isn't selected)
