FortiClient VPN and MacOS Ventura Compatibility?

[Blubaru]

Is FC VPN 7.0+ compatible with the new Ventura OS?

I had the app working fine on the previous OS, but once upgraded, the app no longer can connect.  I get a "network error. Unable to connect to server".  I've confirmed that nothing has changed on the remote end and my PC still works fine.

I know Apple sometimes like to mess around with security settings on these update, which is what I'm guessing is causing this issue.

So far, I've done the following:

Disabled my local firewall

Given FC VPN full access to my computer.

Any ideas on how to fix this issue?  Thanks!

Are you using hostname to connect? Can you try with IP address?

[Blubaru]

That was good idea and seemed to help a bit.  There was a resolution error of some kind happening.  Once I used the address, it was able to reach the server.  We use a two-factor authentication, w/ DUO Security, so it prompts you (on your phone) to accept the new VPN connection before it connect.  I do get a prompt to accept the new connection, which I accept.  Once accepted, Forticlient continues to connect as it typically would, but instead of reaching 100% Connected, it just blanks out and takes me back to the start where I need to renter my credentials and start the process again.  Seems like can't establish or maintain the connection.

I had some certificate issues in the past which were resolved by using IP address instead of hostname. 

But I do have a working FVT 7.0.6 on Ventura that can connect using hostname now using MFA (FortiToken). 

So it *should* work but hard to say exactly what you're up against right now. 

I would suggest contacting TAC.
