Access to Firebird and the PACE VPN has been restored, and all systems should be functioning normally. If you do not see the PACE VPN as an option in the GlobalProtect client, please disconnect from the GT VPN and reconnect for it to appear again.
Urgent maintenance on the GlobalProtect VPN device on Thursday night inadvertently led to the loss of PACE VPN access, which was restored this morning.
Please contact us at pace-support@oit.gatech.edu with questions, or if you are still unable to access Firebird.
