Check that you don’t have the IP and DNS configured manually (e.g. 8.8.8.8 or 8.8.4.4).
If you have antivirus software, we recommend disabling pop-up blocking in your browser. Or choose another browser as your default.
Alternatively, uninstall the VPN (GlobalProtect):
– Windows » via Control Panel > Select Programs > Programs and Features and after uninstalling restart the computer. Then install and configure the VPN again.
– MacOS » run globalprotect Setup > continue/next > select ”Uninstall GlobalProtect.” After uninstalling, restart the computer. Then install and configure globalprotect (VPN) again.
