    5. Disclaimer: you may receive a pop-up notification with the message ""GlobalProtect" Would Like to Add VPN Configurations | All network activity on this device may be filtered or monitored when using a VPN". This is only meant to mean that your internet traffic is re-routed through UW-Madison servers. This same message occurs with any VPN.
