    Hi, 

    I noticed too. 

    But Fortinet people does not see it. They are blind? I reported it via fortinet ticket and they do not trust me.

    Grrrr.

    I was so excited for the new linux client. But I got the cold shower.... :)

    I'm assuming it doesn't (yet) support VPN. We use OpenFortiGUI for Linux SSL connections, it works really well and given it's opensource Fortinet could integrate it with the new Linux FortiClient.

    Hello,

     

    I use the OpenFortiGUI too. It works well.

    But the new FortiClient 6 from Fortinet should also support the SSL VPN.

     

     

    There is support for SSL VPN in the technical specification:

    https://www.forticlient.com/techspec

     

    But I can not see the VPN module.

    Oh that's interesting, I've not seen anything in EMS or the Linux FC that suggests there is. I'll do some digging tomorrow as I have a test EMS 6.0 server and an Ubuntu 18.04 VM with FC installed.

    Hi,

    On the web site [link]https://www.forticlient.com/downloads[/link] is bad information. There is Linux client version 6.0 on this site. And "TECHSPEC" via button/link "Technical Specification" show, that the client support SSL VPN.

    That is not right.

    Same here, no VPN module present.
