Hello everyone.

We get the latest setup on 17th Agust 2020 for Forticlient VPN.

We get an error message like "forticlient unable to access image servers" while installing this app on windows 10 pro machine.

Couldy you please help us what we should do next ?

Thanks.

a few hours later ...

We switched off local home network and switched on 5G mobile network as hostspot.

We connected to the net via hotspot and the forticlient vpn setup progress continued.

Do you have any ideas for that situations ?

Thank you very much

This is seriously messed. Confirmed. Image servers accessible via mobile hotspot, while home broadband cannot reach image servers.

Also in case if switching between 5G/4G mobile Hotspot doesn't work please try

Chocolatey Software - Package installer

Hello everyone,

Regarding the issue you encountered while installing Forticlient VPN on your Windows 10 Pro machine and receiving the "Forticlient unable to access image servers" error message, it seems that switching from your local home network to a 5G mobile Net as a hotspot allowed the setup progress to continue.

In such situations, it's possible that your local network settings or firewall may be causing the issue. By using a different network connection, you bypassed those potential restrictions. If you continue to experience any further difficulties or have any other questions, please let us know.

Thank you very much for your time and information provided.

Hi, I am also seeing this error "Unable to access image servers" when attempting to install FortiClient VPN 7.0 on a Windows 10 Enterprise PC. If this is a firewall issue, what IP addresses do we need to open up in our firewall to allow your installer to access your image servers?

Hi marcusogden,

Could you confirm if you have downloaded the Forticlient from the support portal support.fortinet.com?

Hi, i can confirm that the problem is still happening randomly.

I have installed the Forticlient VPN many times and its happening now on one computer. No apparent reason, nothing seems to be different with this machine, and it is connected to the same network as all the others. Also remember it happening in the past once or twice, also randomly.
