Question

FortiClient for iOS Cannot pass traffic

Hey everyone!

I am having trouble with the FortiClient on iOS devices.  We can get the FortiClient to connect, but once connected we cannot ping any internal resources or browse/RDP to the devices either.  Attached are some screen shots of the setup.

    One more thing.  I am fairly certain this may not be available, but does anyone know why?  Seems rather... lacking?  Anything in the road maps to resolve this? 

     

    Thanks again,

    Matt

    For SSLvpn only web mode is supported.

    Check the following KB for details:

    I think the restrictions are more from Apple side so I don't think there is anything in road-map.

     

    Btw why don't you use Ipsec tunnel mode.

    Hello,

     

    Why not use a IPSec VPN instead?

    Below link explains how to configure the IPSec VPN for the IOS devices:

    Ashkula-

     

    Thanks for the clarification.  I was fairly certain that was the road I was going down, I just needed clarification.  A co-worker a ticket open with Fortinet TAC and the Fortinet tech continues to believe this is possible with SSL VPN.  I am not certain why he feels this way.

     

    Thanks for all your help!
