Troubleshooting

4.1.1. Installation Issues
After the install, Global Protect may not open or may not be able to connect to the portal even if the computer is connected to the network. Verify the service pangps is installed and is running. If it is not installed or cannot start, uninstall and reinstall the client (may require elevated permissions).

4.1.2. Operational Issues
If Global Protect is installed and pangps service is running, there may be other potential issues. If the client indicates login issues, this may be due to the account being locked out after too many attempts. Or it could be due to trying to login to a VPN that the user does not have access to.
For other issues, it may be necessary to review the logs on the client machine. The pangps.log can be retrieved from the Global Protect application folder or through the client. On the client, click the settings icon in the upper right corner and then go to the troubleshooting tab. Press the “Collect Logs” button and save the zip file to an easily accessible folder location –
