Wildcard Support for Split Tunnel Settings Based on the Application
You can configure the path for the endpoint application using wildcard character (*) while configuring split-tunnel based on application, both for exclude as well as include traffic. You can add up to 200 entries to the list to exclude or include the traffic through the VPN tunnel.
When you use the wildcard character in the application path and add it in the exclude or include list for split-tunnel, GlobalProtect bypasses the application check for that particular application path even when the application path changes after a software or patch update.
For example, when you apply wildcard character to the path for third-party applications such as Symantec Web Security Service (WSS) or MicrosoftTeams, you don't need to manually update the exclude list for the application in the split-tunnel configuration each time the third-party application path changes after a software update.
