GlobalProtect and NordVPN on same Windows machine problems

VPN

On my Windows 11 machine I’ve had GlobalProtect installed for accessing my employer’s servers for a while. All good. Privately I separately used StrongVPN on the same machine, no problems. Never both at the same time.

I recently switched to NordVPN which by itself was working just fine. When it was disconnected and I tried to use GlobalProtect, I wasn’t able to access anything, anywhere. I believe the two of them (even though NordVPN was disconnected) were interfering with each other. I uninstalled NordVPN and then GlobalProtect was happy again.

I don’t urgently need NordVPN to work, but once my StrongVPN account expires in June I’ll either have to extend it or get NordVPN working alongside GlobalProtect.

Any ideas?

Did you found a solution? I have the same issue.

not really related to your specific issue, but I guess F5’s BigIP VPN client can also conflict with GP. Add: I was not able to fully investigate it because another business unit was managing the BigIP. That was our conclusion and found removing GP 6.0.x was the workaround.

I didn’t. I just uninstalled NordVPN on that machine.

I’ve never had any issues with GP and F5 works flawlessly for me
