Resolution

The error implies that the portal is not reachable. Here are some things to verify:

  1. The correct IP address into the Global Protect Client Configuration on the Firewall.
  2. Ping the portal from the workstation (might not work if firewall is not configured to respond to ping packets)
  3. Check the Security policies on the PAN firewall to see if the correct app-IDs are permitted, e.g ssl, panos-global-protect
  4. Disable the local anti-virus firewall on the workstation.
  5. Re-install the GlobalProtect client
