Enterprise administrator can configure the same app to connect in either Always-On VPN, Remote Access VPN or Per App VPN mode. The app automatically adapts to the end user’s location and connects the user to the best available gateway in order to deliver optimal performance for all users and their traffic, without requiring any effort from the user. This allows users to work safely and effectively at locations outside of the traditional office. Before installing this app, please check with your IT department to ensure that your organization has enabled a GlobalProtect gateway subscription on the firewall.

Not pleased
Not pleased. I am not able to hit my company vpn. Not very reliable.
Prefilled password issue
Prefilled password does not work well. Also doesn’t use FaceID. Doesn’t stay connected long and require frequent log in. Need to use Face ID for faster log in and prefilled password function needs to be smoother.
Working poor for user certificates
The app fails to connecting when users are installing a profile on iOS16 phone. Connection fails
Garbage protect
This app is absolute garbage. With every release it gets worse. All I want to do is be able to log into the VPN without having to disable the “connect on demand” setting and relog in 5 times while using 2FA and retyping my password. I don’t believe a lot of these reviews. This app is trash but I have to use it because my employer forces us to. Why can’t it just work the first time I log in?
Needs ability for multiple portals
As a consultant, I have lots of clients on PANs and need the ability for multiple portals so I don’t have to constantly type them in. I also have clients with various locations around the global that also need the ability to save multiple portal profiles. The desktop application does it, the Forticlient IOS App does it, I see no reason why Palo Alto couldn’t do it.
Problems on older versions of iOS
Connection problems seem more prevalent on versions of iOS prior to 15
