I'm using FortiClient 7.0.8.0308 on Mac. When I connect FortiClient, I have no access to internet. This is probably a DNS error, but I don't know how to fix it.

The simplest way to check if it is a DNS issue or not is by issuing a ping as below from the client machine.
ping 8.8.8.8 ---> This expected to work if its a DNS issue
ping www.google.com ---> lets see if the name gets resolved , if not its a DNS issue.

Yes, it is a DNS issue.
ping 8.8.8.8 works
ping www.google.com does not show anything

Hi dust,
You can modify DNS from your Mac's end, at your nic's interface. Or in the Fortigate's SSL - VPN Settings, change on Tunnel Mode Client Settings the DNS Server to Specify (example: 8.8.8.8).
Hi dust_bg,
Please refer to the below link as well:
