Hi,

Which supported Product shall I purchase instead of the non-supported "FortiClient VPN" ?

(Windows Server 2016, only SSL-VPN usage)

For example, during testing "FortiClient VPN" I was not able to restore a modified configuration or see verbose details in the log.

Thanks, Roland

What do you mean that FortiClient is "non-supported"? Why would you not use FortiClient?

The Download-Site for "FortiClient VPN" (https://www.fortinet.com/de/support/product-downloads) describes, that the explicite VPN-Version of FortiClient have no Support included:

"Die reine VPN-Version von FortiClient bietet SSL VPN und IPSecVPN, umfasst jedoch keine Unterstützung. Laden Sie die beste VPN-Software für mehrere Geräte herunter."

Did I misunderstand an aspect ?
Or would FortiClient be the supported alternative ?

If yes, could you give me a Link ?

I need only basic features like SSL-VPN, configuration restore and verbose logging

Thanks, Roland

The free (unsupported) version of "FortiClient VPN" software has the ability to do debugging/logging and you can backup/restore a configuration for the client. You just need to click on the "Lock" icon, then you'll be able to modify the System and Logging settings.
