Troubleshooting Tip: Unable to see SSL VPN and IPsec options under VPN settings

[Nivedha]

Description	This article describes why the SSL VPN options may not be visible in FortiGate, and explains how to fix it by enabling the SSL VPN feature or through CLI commands.
Scope	FortiGate.
Solution	For Firmware lower than v7.4.1: The SSL VPN feature can be enabled from Feature Visibility, navigate to System -> Feature Visibility and enable SSL VPN as shown below: For Firmware v7.4.1 and above: Due to the change in default behavior from v7.4.1 onward, the SSL VPN settings and the menus remain hidden from the GUI under VPN Settings and missing under feature visibility. Under VPN: Under System -> Feature Visibility: The feature now must be enabled from the CLI, to enable the VPN -> SSL VPN GUI menu: config system settings     set gui-sslvpn enable end This is the default behavior in the brand-new installation of v7.4.1: Changes in default behavior (Bug ID: 923718) The above CLI commands can also be used in firmware versions lower than v7.4.1. To enable the IPsec VPN feature, navigate to System -> Feature Visibility and enable IPsec VPN as shown below: It is also possible to run the following command via the CLI to enable the IPSec VPN feature: config system settings     set gui-vpn enable end Web mode and realm features are also disabled by default and will not be enabled with the above commands. It is possible to enable it with the following commands: config system global     set sslvpn-web-mode enable end config system settings     set gui-sslvpn-realms enable end Note: Starting from v.7.6.x, the SSL VPN web and tunnel mode feature will no longer be available from the GUI or CLI for FortiGates with 2GB of RAM or below. A workaround is to use an IPsec dial-up tunnel for remote access VPN instead: SSL VPN removed from 2GB RAM models for tunnel and web mode From v7.0.16 onwards, the SSL VPN feature will not be available on the FortiGate-90G and 91G models. SSL VPN not supported on FortiGate 90G series models | FortiGate / FortiOS 7.0.16 | Fortinet Documen... v7.2.10 still supports SSL VPN on the FortiGate-90G and 91G models. In v7.4.x, this option can be enabled from the CLI using the below commands.  config system settings       set gui-sslvpn enable  end SSL VPN is not supported on either the FortiGate-30G model or the FortiGate-50G model.
