Forticlient VPN ARM processer

[aspnovac]

Hi,
We bought an Microsoft Surface Pro 9 which has an ARM processer.
The point of buying this was to hook it up with the Fortinet VPN, so we could go anywhere and still be connected.
Problem is i can't install it on the Surface Pro 9, due to having an ARM processer.
I was wondering if there was any early access or beta for Forticlient VPN for ARM processers that we could try?

Or is there any other solution?

I tried the Microsoft store app, but that doesn't seem to work with SAML.
The VPN connection is SAML with Azure.

Hi @rtanagras ,

Thanks

I'm also in the same boat, would greatly appreciate if someone could DM me the ARM installer and the remover as well. Thanks in advance for any help.

How to get Forticlient VPN ARM64:

Windows

Download from the main page as usual clicking on Windows. It will download "FortiClientVPNInstaller.exe". On your browser downloads window/tab, copy the download link.

Paste it on the address box and before hitting enter, add "_arm64" before the ".exe", so it will read "FortiClientVPNInstaller_arm64.exe".

For Linux, it's basically the same process, just swap "x86_64" for "aarch64" on the URL of the DEB or RPM version.

Instead of making the software easy to download and use, fortinet keep adding walls. Users have to download the installer from suspicious links, like something forbidden, thus making it super simple for someone to distribute a false installer with malware inside.

Thanks heaps frustrated_user :)

It worked for me.  The ARM64 VPN only client is now installed and is working on M3 Macbook Pro with VMWare Fusion 13.5 and Windows 11.

Great! Same here, working perfectly on Win11 inside VMWare Fusion, and on Linux on UTM.

I have a Surface Copilot laptop; I could successfully download the ARM installer using @frustrated_user instructions. 

However, when I try to install it, I get the following error: "FortiClient VPN Setup Wizard ended prematurely". Any help on how to solve it will be appreciated! Thank you :)
