How to use veracrypt with google drive software#

Run the Google Drive client software with the unsafe_network flag enabled, so that it accepts untrusted certificates.

Now the firewall is configured so that any traffic going to Google Drive site bypasses decryption.

Configure a no-decrypt policy with a custom url category for the Google Drive website.

There are two options as a workaround to resolve this issue: With SSL decryption enabled, the Google Drive client receives an untrusted certificate from the Palo Alto Networks device and the connection ultimately fails. When the Google Drive client software, installed on a desktop, attempts to connect to the Google server, it expects to receive a valid certificate from the Google server. When the client encrypts the traffic using this certificate, the Palo Alto Networks device can decrypt, inspect, then encrypt the traffic using the real certificate of the website.

This is because when SSL Decryption is enabled, the Palo Alto Networks device receives the external site's certificate and sends its own self-signed certificate to the end client. Instead, this traffic is identified as 'SSL.' If decryption is enabled on the Palo Alto Networks firewall for SSL traffic, the traffic generated by the Google Drive Client application fails decryption. The Palo Alto Networks firewall does not identify Google Drive client software as 'Google Drive' through the application database. When using the Google Drive client software with decryption enabled on the Palo Alto Networks firewall, the connection breaks and the Google Drive software does not synchronize files to the cloud.
