"VPN Server may be unreachable (-14) " . Status shows 80% complete. BUT it works in ANDROID..!!! Anyone resolved this ?

This error also occur if you use the non-fully licensed VPN client, and the SSL VPN configuration on the fortigate firewall has the "Host Check" option enabled. (SSL VPN Portals -> Tunnel Mode -> Host Check)

Hello abhimanyu.

 

Did you solve the problem?

I'm experiencing the exact same problem/error message? I then tried to change the Internet Explorer settings and disabled the TLS 1.1 and TLS 1.2. But that did not solve the problem. Any further suggestions?

Yes, I'm using version 6.2.2.087. I also tried to reinstall the FortiClient without luck.

 

I had installed another VPN client(ShrewSoft VPN Client), but uninstalled it and then reinstalled the FortiClient. Also no change. Perhaps that installation left something behind on my Windows 10 workstation?

 

I should also mention that I have internet access via TV cable, which assigns a IPv6 address to my router. Perhaps that causes a problem, too?

Please, check the following itens on Internet Options.

I got the same error (unreachable at 80%) and was associated with user password. It is integrated with AD (LDAP) and the user password expired.

 

User changed the pwd and connect normally.

On the Android client, are you using the same credentials?  What type of credentials are you authenticating with?  Local, LDAP, etc?  I had the same error and it was because a system account we were using for the LDAP authentication was retired and forgot about its usage for authentication.

Check the 'Policy & Objects > IPv4 Policy > SSL-VPN tunnel interface->lan' make sure the user is on the list in the second column.
