Hello,
I need to migrate an SSL VPN from a fortigate 7.2.10 to another fortigate 7.4.8, but the SSL VPN feature doesn't exist;

 

I tried to enable it via CLI and it doesn't appear either

 

set gui-sslvpn enable

 

Fortigate 180F

Ah no bug. SSL VPN is being removed. Too many vulnerabilities over the years so it’s being dropped. Much better performance and security with IPSEC. You should start migrating your clients to IPSEC and if you are deploying a new VPN Setup then only IPSEC should be used. SSL VPN is no longer available in 7.4.8.

    My 60F w/ 7.4.8 shows it in GUI after enabling it. Is it a bug specific to the model?
    In any case, if SSL VPN was configured before upgrade, it should have been still working.

    I forgot the "end" at the end.
