Forti Client linux ipsec is not avaliable

[alapierre]

I'm using Forti Client 7.0.7.0246 on Linux Mint 21.1 (with kernel 5.15.0-60-generic #66-Ubuntu SMP  x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux) and when I'm tring to configure new connection, I can select only SSL-VPN or XML. When I try to import my VPN settings from XML file, I got "Success" message, but on home screen in Forti Client, it is "Configure VPN" message only. When I did the same operation on Windows - everything works fine.

Hello,

Forticlient Linux does not support IPsec Dialup connection at the moment.

yeah it is pretty sad that even after so many years Fortinet is still not supporting IPSec in their linux client :(
