I was not able to install forticlient on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS 

 

 

 

~/Downloads/vpn $ sudo dpkg -i forticlient_vpn_7.4.0.1636_amd64.deb Selecting previously unselected package forticlient. (Reading database ... 234015 files and directories currently installed.)

I found package "libayatana-indicator7_0.8.4-1+deb11u2_amd64.deb"

but I was not able to install it on Ubuntu 24.04.

 

Do you support FortiClient VPN 7.4 for Ubuntu 24.04 LTS?

      Fortinet should support 24.04 out of the box

      Looks like the forticlient_vpn_7.4.3.1736_amd64 release has fixed this .
