Downloading, installing and running GlobalProtect VPN client
------------------------------------------------------------

Follow the instructions provided for Windows users (read carefully the documentation for :doc:`vpn_windows`). GlobalProtect VPN client's download location and installer interface for macOS and Windows are much the same.


Command line VPN client based on Openconnect
--------------------------------------------

.. warning:: The solution suggested below might not work on every MacOS X version! Our team cannot support it. It is given here only as a useful reference.

.. important:: You can use Openconnect in case you cannot install or run GlobalProtect VPN client.

To install Openconnect you may rely on ``brew`` or ``port``:

.. code:: bash

   sudo brew update
   sudo brew install openconnect

or

.. code:: bash

   sudo port install openconnect

To run ``openconnect`` executable and establish a VPN tunnel to the internal IP infrastructure of Discoverer HPC, follow the prescriptions given in document :doc:`vpn_linux_command_line`, changing there the name of the interface from ``discoverer0`` to ``utunX``. Try first with ``utun0``:

.. code:: bash

   sudo openconnect --protocol=gp --interface=utun0 --user=username start.discoverer.bg

If the tunnel device ``utun0`` is already taken by other running VPN client, try to establish the tunnel again by incrementing the device's number (``utun1``, ``utun2``, ``utun3``, ...).

.. note:: Be sure you replaced ``username`` with your actual Discoverer user name.
