GlobalProtect-openconnect VS Soundux

In order to reach a client's domain for a project, my team needs to use a VPN and the instructions were pretty clear regarding which tool to use - GlobalProtect VPN - so I've installed https://github.com/yuezk/GlobalProtect-openconnect and was able to connect successfully.

Use this one instead https://github.com/yuezk/GlobalProtect-openconnect

Sometimes you may want to use some software in your project, but the maintainer(s) may have some functional affiliation(s) that makes it difficult to use without significant security assessment effort.

Example here: GlobalProtect is VPN software from Palo Alto Networks, but the maintainer of this open source client is based in China. He may be a fine, upstanding person, the code may be pristine, but there's systemic risk that needs to be bought down.

What are your tools of choice to assess something like this?

Ooh yes I recently went through this. This is the one that finally worked: https://github.com/yuezk/GlobalProtect-openconnect

I've seen this on Linux too, specifically with this VPN application https://github.com/yuezk/GlobalProtect-openconnect

Closing it via the "x" will minimize to tray and hide (which is the behavior I want, but an example nonetheless)

I work for a Uni running eduroam. Mine isn't hostile to Linux, but it is definitely a second class citizen. I run Linux where I can. I don't know where you are, but openconnect can probably work for you. Specifically, I use https://github.com/yuezk/GlobalProtect-openconnect/ on top of openconnect for SAML auth. Might be worth the try for you.

I'm not familiar with the service and software can only be downloaded and installed via the customer portal. Would something like GlobalProtect-openconnect or gp-saml-gui suffice?

Solution to the GlobalProtect problem is to install the non-official client https://github.com/yuezk/GlobalProtect-openconnect and follow the fix in issue #142 on the github repo.

I don't have any personal experience with any soundboard stuff, so you'll have to research that yourself. A quick web search led me to Soundux: https://github.com/Soundux/Soundux

instead, use Soundux, a completely free soundboard that is open source and on github.

https://github.com/Soundux/Soundux ?

I've used the Soundux program a few times in order to play sounds through discord calls with friends.

Soundux is the only method I found to make it work... barely.

My mistake, should have mentioned it's pretty early on in development. Try Soundux instead. If you've got your audio sorted by folders (ie, a Sound Effects folder, a Background Music folder, etc) you can set each one up as a separate tab and cue them by clicking or hotkey. To set volume, you'll have to right click, and there's no smooth crossfade option yet, but it's easy enough to set sounds to loop and control them at will.

Not a "real" solution, but you can use Soundux to mix the application sound with your microphone: https://github.com/Soundux/Soundux. Would still be great if Discord would fix the issue.

Ahh, I use Soundux which works insanely well.
