## GPC-26311

Fixed an issue where GlobalProtect users were unable to submit Host Information Profile (HIP) reports, which prevented security rules requiring a HIP match from applying. This occurred when you connected to an NGPA gateway using a dual-stack network, such as a mobile hotspot. With this fix, GlobalProtect successfully submits HIP reports regardless of your network configuration.

## GPC-25946

Fixed an issue where your GlobalProtect client did not send Host Information Profile (HIP) check and report messages after you established a connection to the gateway. This occurred even when a HIP report was generated shortly before the connection, which could have impacted security posture assessment. With this fix, your GlobalProtect client now correctly sends HIP check and report messages after establishing a connection.

## GPC-25776

Fixed an issue where GlobalProtect clients displayed an incorrect "Connecting" status after a GlobalProtect Portal or Gateway authentication failure, specifically when "Portal auth failed but SAML/CAS auth is successful". This misleading status persisted even though the connection had actually failed, preventing users from understanding the true connection state.

## GPC-25541

Fixed an issue where MacOS GlobalProtect client version 6.2.8-416 was unable to connect to the GlobalProtect gateway, getting stuck in a connecting state.

## GPC-25490

(MacBook devices) Fixed an issue where your GlobalProtect enabled device lost internet access after returning from hibernation. This occurred when your computer completely lost network connectivity, requiring a restart to restore internet access. With this fix, your device maintains network connectivity after resuming from hibernation.

## GPC-25394

Fixed an issue where your traffic continued to pass through the GlobalProtect tunnel interface after you disconnected GobalProtect, preventing it from reverting to your local interface. With this fix, your traffic properly reverts to the local interface after GlobalProtect disconnects.

## GPC-25320

Fixed an issue where GlobalProtect intermittently appeared in the foreground of your user session. This occurred even when you configured GlobalProtect for on-demand connections and were not actively trying to connect, causing it to overshadow other applications. With this fix, GlobalProtect remains in the background until you actively initiate a connection.

## GPC-25280

Fixed an issue where GlobalProtect clients on macOS devices would intermittently get stuck in a "Connecting" state for several minutes after waking from modern standby. This occurred due to a race condition between DNS proxy reconfiguration and the VPN connection process during wake from sleep, where the macOS DNS proxy would temporarily stop and restart, causing the PanGPS service to time out when attempting to send DNS configuration commands. This led to repeated connection failures until the DNS proxy fully stabilized, a condition that was exacerbated by the presence of multiple network extensions on the macOS device.
