Forticlient VPN on Bazzite Linux white screen

[amaka]

Hello everyone! With the lack of support for the vpn client through official channels, I turn to everyone here to see if they can help me out. I have been working for two weeks to get some version of the fortinet vpn working on Bazzite with no luck. No matter how I install it, all that happens when I open it is a white screen with a context menu that says <empty> when I right click in it and a menu bar with only a couple options or just a complete white screen under the title bar. I can only try installing the official RPM because their linux downloads page hold incorrect instructions for Fedora (which Bazzite is based off of). I desperately need some assistance because this is the only thing preventing me from being able to get off Windows, but my work requires it.

Hi Amaka

It is officially not supported on Bazzite (Edit: I mean it is not officially supported).

But if it can help, in case Bazzite works with NetworkManager (and I guess so), a workaround is to install fortisslvpn plugin, which is fully compatible with FortiGate SSL VPN server.

In case you need IPsec then you can use strongSwan, which is available on all Linuxes.
