FortiClient on Mac ARM with Windows 11 in parallels VM

When will there be an ARM64 Windows 11 version of the FortiClient VPN client be available?

I'm technical consultant working for many customers with many different VPN solutions. I'm using Windows under a Parallels Desktop VM to access those systems on a Macbook pro.

Now I switched to a new Macbook Pro with Apple M1 cpu which has an ARM64 architecture. So I'm now on Windows 11 ARM version. Cisco is the only VPN client (and those on virtual desktops) which is working in this constellation. I tried the 32 and 64 bit versions of the current windows FortiClients, none is working.

I think there has to be a new ARM Windows version with a new tap-module to solve the problem.

Has anyone a clue?

 

Best regards

Frank

Hi, 
My solution was with the FortiClient application as desribed in the forum, but the network administrator gave me the permissions to be able to connect through the application, considering some permissions within the Fortinet control panel.

The detail is that the application contains some settings that you must agree with the settings established by your network administrator.

 

 

The configuration that worked for me was the one in the image
