Question
In which order are the GlobalProtect Split Tunnel Rules applied?
Environment
- PAN-OS 9.1 and above.
- GlobalProtect Gateway
- Split Tunnel
Answer
The Split Tunnel Rules are applied for Windows and macOS endpoints in the following order:
- Applications are excluded.
- Applications are included.
- Domains are excluded.
- Domains are included.
- Network traffic is excluded or included based on access routes.
More specific access routes take precedence over more general ones. If the same access route appears in both the Include and Exclude lists, the Include list will take priority. This means the subnet will still be routed through the VPN adapter.
