Hello

Is there a way to show SSL VPN clients under Fortiview sources? I can only see information on internal hosts. Running version 6.4.8. Thanks

Dear dfish85,

you should see SSLVPN clients with their SSLVPN IPs, if they are connected via tunnel-mode.

Web-mode VPN will not show, as FortiGate basically acts as a proxy for those sessions, with sessions terminating on the FortiGate directly.

There is also an SSLVPN widget where you can see active SSL-VPN (tunnel) connections.

Thanks for the response. They are all tunneled connections but nothing showing in the sources. I can get the information I need by drilling into the Fortiview policies section but thought it was weird the sources section had no VPN hosts. Maybe a version issue? I never really noticed it before. Thanks

Hey dfish - the screenshot is from my lab FGT in 6.4.6, I don't think it would be a version issue.

If there is no active traffic through the VPN you're not going to see any sessions; that session in the screenshot is from a ping and disappeared a minute later when the ICMP session timed out.

There is an SSLVPN dashboard widget that shows current tunnels, but doesn't tell you if/how many traffic sessions there are for that tunnel/user
