GlobalProtect toggle (start/quit)

Regain control over the annoying GlobalProtect macOS install

I need to use GlobalProtect because it's becoming the only VPN to access resources in my school. The VPN client is simple enough, but it does two annoying things:

  1. Registers itself to autostart on login
  2. Doesn't provide you with a simple 'quit' action

Here I'll show you how I fixed both issues in macOS 12.2 (Monterey).

* using up precious memory
* 3. Giving quick access to control the number of threads used
* for parallel processing
