Question

Anybody connect their Fortigate to a VPN service?

Curious to see if anybody has configured their Fortigate to use a VPN service such as PIA, NordVPN or any of the million other ones that exist. I currently use pfsense at home due to it being able to use OpenVPN however I would love to switch to using my 60E if I can find a provider that supports the device.

 

Thanks in advance!

    if you  asking can a FORTIGATE  act as a vpn_client, than the answer is no it can not. I'm not aware  of the  fortigate appliance acting like a ipsec or sslvpn client.

    Sounds like you may mean a “site to site” VPN and yes, the Fortigate can do site to site IPSec, we run it from our FG80D to Amazon web service VPN. GL IT
