Forticlient (ZTNA) for ARM?

[jsauer]

Question, with the new Windows Copilot+ PCs, will there be a version of Forticlient for Windows on ARM that will also support ZTNA?

I have SSL VPN setup at the moment, so tried using the version of FortiClient from the Windows Store, but while it connects it will not pass traffic. The regular Forticlient on another device works just fine. I'm getting ready to work with ZTNA to learn more about it, but I have a Windows Copilot+ laptop which the native Forticlient cannot be installed to. Yes, I can go back to my other laptop, and probably will for the testing, but if this is something that's going to be coming then I can wait to do so (while working on the SSL VPN issue, or setting up an IPSec connection, instead).

FortiClient for Windows on ARM is not currently available. However, you can use the regular FortiClient on another device for now.

I know that it isn't available, that's why my question was: "will there be a version of Forticlient for Windows on ARM that will also support ZTNA?"

Ok, while yes, one could use FortiClient on another device, that kind of defeats the purpose of the original posters question. 

Because it looks like ARM is definitely going to be one of the prevalent architecture platforms going forward (it's not going away...), I am interested to find out how Fortinet plans to support these devices.  And if a timeframe has been discussed for this support.

As it is, this is a bit of a roadblock to transitioning more of our devices to ARM.  And because ARM seems to be pretty impressive on the newer devices, this is something that myself, as well as others, are very interested in finding out more. Especially considering that we are approaching hardware refresh times for our existing Fortinet devices and this will be a factor to consider.

I've been going through different scenarios and will be trying to at least use Windows Native L2TP at first, followed by using wireguard or some other product that I can run in my home lab for testing. I did see in another post that it's possible ARM support will be merged in a release of the 7.4.x client, so we'll see.
