Because Global Secure Access doesn't currently support UDP traffic, UDP traffic to port 443 can't be tunneled. You can disable the QUIC protocol so that Global Secure Access clients fall back to using HTTPS (TCP traffic on port 443). You must make this change if the servers that you're trying to access do support QUIC (for example, through Microsoft Exchange Online). To disable QUIC, you can take one of the following actions:

Disable QUIC in Windows Firewall
400+
401+
The most generic method to disable QUIC is to disable that feature in Windows Firewall. This method affects all applications, including browsers and rich client apps (such as Microsoft Office). In PowerShell, run the following New-NetFirewallRule cmdlet to add a new firewall rule that disables QUIC for all outbound traffic from the device:
402+
403+
PowerShell
404+
405+
Copy
406+
$ruleParams = @{
407+
DisplayName = "Block QUIC"
408+
Direction = "Outbound"
409+
Action = "Block"
410+
RemoteAddress = "0.0.0.0/0"
411+
Protocol = "UDP"
412+
RemotePort = 443
413+
}

Disable QUIC in a web browser
416+
417+
You can disable QUIC at the web browser level. However, this method of disabling QUIC means that QUIC continues to work on non-browser applications. To disable QUIC in Microsoft Edge or Google Chrome, open the browser, locate the Experimental QUIC protocol setting (#enable-quic flag), and then change the setting to Disabled. The following table shows which URI to enter in the browser's address bar so that you can access that setting.

Browser URI

Microsoft Edge edge://flags/#enable-quic

Google Chrome chrome://flags/#enable-quic

## Optimizing network protection performance
397424

Network protection now has a performance optimization that allows Block mode to start asynchronously inspecting long-lived connections, which might provide a performance improvement and can also help with app compatibility problems. This optimization capability is on by default. You can turn off this capability by using the following PowerShell cmdlet:
