Question

Forticlient installed but does not show in Add a VPN Connection list in Win 10

Hi, I am trying to use Forticlient (as instructed by my employer) to connect to my work's network via VPN. The instructions tell me to install Forticlient (done) then go to Settings, Network & Internet, VPN, Add a VPN Connection, then select Forticlient from the VPN Provider from the drop down list. However, Forticlient does not appear in the list. Any ideas what might be causing this?

 

Many thanks,

 

Carlos

    These instructions are wrong if you install this FortiClient (e.g. www.forticlient.com). This client client can work in managed / standalone mode. After installation you should see the FortiClient icon on your desktop / startmenu.

    With this program you can configure SSL / IPsec VPN connections.

    Hi Carlos,

    did you mean you can't find VPN tunnel in forticlient? On the left panel, click "Remote access" and config your remote access VPN here. If you didn't configure any VPN before, you should click the gear icon and select "Add a new connection" and follow the guide. Keep in touch!

    Hi Carlos

     

    the instruction only works for the "lite" FortiClient which you can find in the Microsoft Store: https://www.microsoft.com...productId/9WZDNCRDH6MC

     

    This Client only works on Windows 10.
