  • Patent number: 11700239
    Abstract: Various techniques for split tunneling based on content type to exclude certain network traffic from a tunnel (e.g., VPN tunnel) are disclosed. In some embodiments, a system, process, and/or computer program product for split tunneling based on content type to exclude certain network traffic from a tunnel includes monitoring session traffic received at a data appliance; determining if the session traffic is associated with a first content type; and redirecting the session traffic if the session traffic is associated with the first content type based on a policy.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 7, 2021
    Date of Patent: July 11, 2023
    Assignee: Palo Alto Networks, Inc.
    Inventors: Yongjie Yin, Joby Menon, Andrey Tverdokhleb, Kevin Yao
  • Publication number: 20230006986
    Abstract: Techniques for time-based network authentication challenges are disclosed. In some embodiments, a system, process, and/or computer program product for time-based network authentication challenges includes monitoring a session at a firewall to identify a user associated with the session, generating a timestamp for an authentication factor associated with the user after the user successfully authenticates for access to a resource based on an authentication profile, intercepting another request from the user for access to the resource at the firewall, and determining whether the timestamp for the authentication factor is expired based on the authentication profile.
