Configure GlobalProtect to Disable Direct Access to the Local Network
Configure GlobalProtect to disable direct access to the
local network.
To make sure that all mobile user traffic
is sent to Prisma Access, you can completely disable outgoing connections,
including local subnet traffic, from being sent to the local adapter.
You can deactivate all outgoing connections to the local adapter
by making configuration changes
to the GlobalProtect gateway.
You can perform these
steps on Panorama or on an on-premises firewall that has been configured as
a GlobalProtect gateway.
Enable the No direct access to local network setting to
reduce risks in untrusted networks such as rogue Wi-Fi access points.
- Select .
- Select an existing GlobalProtect gateway or Add a new one.
- Select .
- Select the DEFAULT configuration or Add a new one.
- Select Split Tunnel; then, select No
direct access to local network. Disabling local network access causes all traffic, including IPv4 and IPv6 traffic, from being sent to the local adapter. In addition, you won't be able to access resources on your local subnet, such as printers. Split tunnel traffic based on access route, destination domain, and application still works as expected.
