Hi,

 

Can I still connect to VPN even if I am connected to office WIFi/LAN? Is there a settings on FortiClient EMS for that?

Hi @jlb_,

 

So you are in the branch office and connected to VPN at a different location. You should still be able to access local resources of the branch office as it is directly connected.

Hi @jlb_ - Any particular reason why you would still use the VPN on the LAN when you're already inside the internal network? My understanding is that we use the VPN to access internal resources on the LAN. But if you're already inside, why do you need to use the VPN?

Hi Ricky,

Sorry. What I mean is, if I am in the branch office and I am using VPN, can I still access the local resources of the branch office? Is there a settings on FortiClient EMS?
