I've downloaded the Forticlient VPN ONLY (.deb) for my Ubuntu machine, and installed it, but when I'm trying to create a connection I'm not able to see the IPsec VPN option there.

Hello Maaz

So here I am mentioning a path for it.
In forticlient Remote access page you can see three lines are there>>> Add a new connection>>> Top of it you will get a option to select ip sec.
Thanks & Regards

Hi @Maaz ,

Currently, the FortiClient for Linux does not support IPSEC VPN.
If you would like to setup IPsec VPN with Linux, Refer below article. Hope it will helpful !

Hi Maaz,

Yes, it is a firewall(Fortigate) where you need to configure the ipsec dial up setting to connect the forticlient vpn.
Here is the link for the device details:
