Welcome to the Great Goat Rodeo

Picture of a Goat

Not about goats or rodeos or the game Mongolian Goat Rodeo but just some links and supplemental info for classes on the Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS next generation firewalls.

All material here is offered as-is and if you are not comfortable then ask a "professional" for help.

As soon as I put it up here this info is getting out of date, so if any of my guidance conflicts with published Best Practices from the manufacturer by all means do what they tell you (so no need to think for yourself).

Bunch of links which open in new tab if you click them, some may require support account, Live Community account, etc
