Zscaler and Minecraft: a battle of wills


I’ve finally come across a real challenge: Getting Minecraft to work together with Zscaler. In a nutshell: I’ve tried everything. SSL bypasses, tunnel bypasses, authentication exemptions. Nothing will work. Minecraft launcher takes forever to fully load, sometimes it can’t even get information about your accounts; sometimes it can. Bnd then when it does load after 2-3 minutes, you can’t play online.
Now here’s a really strange thing: even if I disable Internet services (ZIA), it still won’t load, which is really strange.
(5 hours of troubleshooting later):

what loads even if ZIA services are off? WFP driver of course.

Once i disabled the driver in app profile, it all works fine.
