Hello,

I would like to be able to connect and disconnect a FortiClient VPN tunnel using the Windows Command line.

Is this possible? If so, what is the command and syntax please?

Clients are running Windows 10 or 11.

FortiClient 7.2.4 (full version deployed via EMS).

Many thanks!

    Thanks for this @ozkanaltas but I had already tried that. There is no "FortiSSLVPNclient.exe" within the FortiClientTools_7.2.4.0972.zip archive and nothing that looks like it does similar (unless I'm going mad of course).

    The links are for FortiClient 5.x so I guess they've changed how it works with 7.2.
