# GlobalProtect-openconnect

A GUI for GlobalProtect VPN, based on OpenConnect, supports the SSO authentication method. Inspired by [gp-saml-gui](https://github.com/dlenski/gp-saml-gui).



## Features

- [x] Better Linux support
- [x] Support both CLI and GUI
- [x] Support both SSO and non-SSO authentication
- [x] Support the FIDO2 authentication (e.g., YubiKey)
- [x] Support authentication using default browser
- [x] Support client certificate authentication
- [x] Support multiple portals
- [x] Support gateway selection
- [x] Support connect gateway directly
- [x] Support auto-connect on startup
- [x] Support system tray icon

## Usage

### CLI

The CLI version is always free and open source in this repo. It has almost the same features as the GUI version.

```
Usage: gpclient [OPTIONS]

Commands:
connect Connect to a portal server
disconnect Disconnect from the server
launch-gui Launch the GUI
help Print this message or the help of the given subcommand(s)

Options:
--fix-openssl Get around the OpenSSL `unsafe legacy renegotiation` error
--ignore-tls-errors Ignore the TLS errors
-h, --help Print help
-V, --version Print version

See 'gpclient help ' for more information on a specific command.
```

To use the external browser for authentication with the CLI version, you need to use the following command:

```bash
sudo -E gpclient connect --browser default
```

Or you can try the following command if the above command does not work:

```bash
gpauth --browser default 2>/dev/null | sudo gpclient connect --cookie-on-stdin
```

You can specify the browser with the `--browser ` option, e.g., `--browser firefox`, `--browser chrome`, etc.

### GUI

The GUI version is also available after you installed it. You can launch it from the application menu or run `gpclient launch-gui` in the terminal.

> [!Note]
>
> The GUI version is partially open source. Its background service is open sourced in this repo as [gpservice](./apps/gpservice/). The GUI part is a wrapper of the background service, which is not open sourced.

### Other distributions

- Install `openconnect >= 8.20`, `webkit2gtk`, `libsecret`, `libayatana-appindicator` or `libappindicator-gtk3`.
- Download `globalprotect-openconnect_${version}_${arch}.bin.tar.xz` from [releases](https://github.com/yuezk/GlobalProtect-openconnect/releases) page.
- Extract the tarball with `tar -xJf globalprotect-openconnect_${version}_${arch}.bin.tar.xz`.
- Run `sudo make install` to install the client.

## Build from source

You can also build the client from source, steps are as follows:

### Prerequisites

- [Install Rust 1.80 or later](https://www.rust-lang.org/tools/install)
- Install Tauri dependencies: https://tauri.app/start/prerequisites/
- Install `perl` and `jq`
- Install `openconnect >= 8.20` and `libopenconnect-dev` (or `openconnect-devel` on RPM-based distributions)
- Install `pkexec`, `gnome-keyring` (or `pam_kwallet` on KDE)
- Install `nodejs` and `pnpm` (optional only if you downloaded the source tarball from the release page and run with the `BUILD_FE=0` flag, see below)

### Build

1. Download the source code tarball from [releases](https://github.com/yuezk/GlobalProtect-openconnect/releases) page. Choose `globalprotect-openconnect-${version}.tar.gz`.
2. Extract the tarball with `tar -xzf globalprotect-openconnect-${version}.tar.gz`.
3. Enter the source directory and run `make build BUILD_FE=0` to build the client.
3. Run `sudo make install` to install the client. (Note, `DESTDIR` is not supported)

## FAQ

1. How to deal with error `Secure Storage not ready`

Try upgrade the client to `2.2.0` or later, which will use a file-based storage as a fallback.

You need to install the `gnome-keyring` package, and restart the system (See [#321](https://github.com/yuezk/GlobalProtect-openconnect/issues/321), [#316](https://github.com/yuezk/GlobalProtect-openconnect/issues/316)).

2. How to deal with error `(gpauth:18869): Gtk-WARNING **: 10:33:37.566: cannot open display:`

If you encounter this error when using the CLI version, try to run the command with `sudo -E` (See [#316](https://github.com/yuezk/GlobalProtect-openconnect/issues/316)).

## About Trial

The CLI version is always free, while the GUI version is paid. There are two trial modes for the GUI version:

1. 10-day trial: You can use the GUI stable release for 10 days after the installation.
2. 14-day trial: Each beta release has a fresh trial period (at most 14 days) after released.
