The [Palo Alto Networks GlobalProtect](docId\:m3piWYYPLJVt9mwbjVvaf) field displays.
On Demand rules are associated with an array of dictionaries that define the network match criteria identifying a particular network location.
VPN On Demand matches the dictionaries in the On Demand Rules against properties of your current network connection to determine whether domain-based rules should be used in determining whether to connect, then handles the connection as follows:
- If domain-based matching is enabled for a matching On Demand Rule dictionary, then for each dictionary in that dictionary’s connection evaluation array, VPN On Demand compares the requested domain against the domains listed in the Domains array.
- If domain-based matching is not enabled, the specified behavior (Connect, Disconnect, Allow, or Ignore) is used if the dictionary otherwise matches.

VPN On Demand rules are applied when the device's primary network interface changes, for example when the device switches to a different Wi-Fi network.
- A matching rule is not required. The Default Rule is applied if a matching rule is not defined.
- If you select Evaluate Connection, a matching rule is not required.
- You can create up to 10 On Demand matching rules.
- For each matching rule you can create up to 50 Type and Value pairs.
