You can make it work.

 

Connect one of your WAN addresses (interfaces) to a DDNS service. For example, dyndns.org or even Fortinet. In the Forticlient, specify the domain name instead of the remote WAN IP address. This should work, in aggressive mode.

For the record, you can do this. I do it all day. I even have IPSec VPN tunnels with dynamic IPs on both ends working flawlessly.

good to hear and reassuring, Bob...so they don't take everything for granted, these youngsters.

 

Of course I've got several dyn-to-dyn VPNs running as well. Static IPs are hard (and costly) to get these days. Mind the aggressive mode though.
