B: URL Category
C: Destination Domain Correct answer
D: video streaming application Correct answer
E: Source Domain
F: Client Application Process Correct answer
Correct Answer:
C. Destination Domain; D. video streaming application; F. Client Application Process
Explanation

According to Palo Alto Networks GlobalProtect documentation, split-tunnel exclusions can be defined by (1) destination domain names, (2) identified HTTP/HTTPS video-streaming applications, and (3) the local client application process name or executable. These methods allow traffic that matches any of those criteria to bypass the VPN tunnel while all other traffic remains in the secure tunnel. No mechanism exists to base split-tunneling on user/group, generic URL categories, or “source domain”.

Why Incorrect

A. Destination user/group – Split-tunneling decisions are not user- or group-aware; they are packet attribute–based.
B. URL Category – Only the special “video-streaming” category is supported, not arbitrary URL categories.
E. Source Domain – Decisions use destination domain (FQDN) the client contacts, not any “source” domain concept.
