Question

FortiClient 7.4.1 is automatically prompting to connect to VPN

FortiClient 7.4.1 is automatically prompting to connect to the VPN. After installing FortiClient Zero Trust Fabric Agent 7.4.1, I noticed that it frequently prompts to connect to the VPN without any user action. The connection appears to initiate automatically, and the username and password are saved in the Remote Access tab.

 

Has anyone else experienced or is currently experiencing this issue?

 

Thank You  FortiClient

    Hi, 

     

    - Is there any change in the network connection such as wifi going down and coming up?

    - Is the Auto Connect enabled in the FortiClient configuration?

     

    Regards,

    Shiva

      Hi,

       

      -No we have not done any change in the network connection. The computer is always connected to LAN and continually it prompt to connect via VPN. The only the change is the upgrade to Forticlient 7.4.1 from 7.4.0. I have downgraded again to 7.4.0 and i'm monitoring today.

      -Auto connect to Remote Access Profile is empty. I have not selected any tunnel

      We have exactly the same problem. Clients seem randomly want to connect even when on Fabric. Autoconnect Feature is not enabled, at least we don´t have onay setting in the option defined. Did you manage to get this sorted out?
