Getting Pulse status from 3rd party app

[donky]

I’m am writing an app and want to know if the user is in a company network  through pulse or not. WHY you ask? Because if they are using pulse then they are somewhere remote, hotel, home etc and their network speed is slower. Why can I check to know if the user is using a VPN tunnel with pulse?

Try to look for "Juniper Networks Virtual Adapter" connection status...

Adapter status will be ,connected', if the user is using Pulse Secure VPN connection.

So I have the same question as this guy?

Juniper Network Connect Virtual Adapter properties

And this is what I am looking for https://kb.juniper.net/InfoCenter/index?page=content&id=KB17660&pmv=print

In other words I need to read the ipconfig info?

Will review and let you know...

@donky Try this,

Check for the "VpnTunnelEstablished" value:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Pulse Secure\Pulse\State\VpnTunnelEstablished

0 - Not connected.

1 - Connected.

Thank you.

How do you ermined the connection status if HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Pulse Secure\Pulse\State\VpnTunnelEstablished doesn't exist in the registry? I don't have a "State" 

[punta21107]

I don't have a "State" folder under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Pulse Secure\Pulse. Am I missing something?

i would expect that you are not using a vpn connection. there are two types of connections through the pulse client: one is vpn (that i would expect to possibly use the state value) and one is not (and i would not expect it to possibly use the state value)
