Starlink with Global Protect and Ivanti VPNs

VPN
1

Hello. My partner and I are considering purchase of a home and evaluating Starlink for home internet service.

Our employers both require us to through a VPN for some of our work. Mine uses Palo Alto Global Protect, and hers uses Ivanti.

We are trying to learn ahead of time - before purchasing the house - if Starlink will successfully support both of us working from home, both in a Teams (and occasionally Zoom) environment, when going through our respective VPNs.

I have found this knowledge base article which seems to kinda just flatly imply that Starlink works with ALL VPNs, but I am posting this to see if I can uncover specific user experience with Starlink and either or both of our VPNs.

Anyone have any real world experience with any of this or have any specific advice that you can give me?

The house itself is in a rural area that is not presently served by DSL or fiber, and none of the local fixed wireless providers have a tower close enough. Hoping that Starlink will work for us.

Oh, also, we are on their wait list. Anyone have any very recent experience with how long the SL wait list tends to be? I can’t find any information on when we would be up. Don’t know if this is a matter of days, weeks, or months.

Thank you!

The waitlist was just enabled in a number of areas globally a week or so ago. Only Starlink knows the criteria for an area being waitlisted and therefore what is required and when it will stop being waitlisted.

I use GlobalProtect everyday and have had no issues on Startlink for the last 2 years.

Assuming the install has no obstructions then Starlink can certainly support that activity. There’s typically nothing special with a work VPN and it will work with any stable provider.

I have 0 issues on video calls or accomplishing work over the VPN. Two people wouldn’t change that.

Wait list time depends on the area. It depends on how many people are signed up and how quickly Starlink can launch more satellite. The hurricane relief areas in the US are currently very congested and you may need to sign up for roam to guarantee service in time.

The install should have no obstructions. Kinda a classic sloped roof, and the house itself is on an exposed hillside with basically no trees around at all.
