Description This article describes the reasons for an 'invalid address selected' error when adding an address under the remote access IPsec tunnel under IPV4 split tunnel.
Scope FortiGate v7.6.3.
Solution

In the VPN Wizard and Tunnel dialog, all remote access tunnels, such as the FortiClient tunnel, do not accept any address in the IPv4 split tunnel option, displaying the error 'Invalid address selected'.

 

This error only appears when trying to add an object with an interface associated.

This is a GUI issue, and the following workarounds are available.

  • Create an address object for the same subnet without any interface association:

  • Select the existing address object VIA CLI.
