Forticlient install for ARM processors

[srademan]

I have purchased a new Microsoft Surface Pro X and the Forticlient agent and application will not install.  Can someone give me guidance on how to get it installed or if they are working on developing support for ARM processors?

Hello Is not possible to use SSL in the forticlient app available in windows store. You need to ask you network admin to give you the IPSEC IP. Then:

Of course, is possible to use an SSL VPN. You wrote the opposite. There is no support for IPsec Btw this is so stupid. Fortinet should start to work on ARM support because ARM will be in more and more computers.

Hi claudiomssousa, did you find out how to use VPN client in a Surface Pro X on arm? We hav the same problem and Forti has done nothing since 2019...

Currently you can only use the extremely basic version from the Microsoft Store. I was able to install this version and get it working, though I would not suggest it for a long term solution. I have not been able to find documentation of them working on ARM support yet as we are also looking for full Forticlient support on the Surface Pro X.

Certainly would be nice if the FortiClient app would install with a MS Surface Pro X in the year 2022.

What is the point of paying fees for the FW and licenses.

I see other posts that the FortiClient doesn't work with Apple's M1 chip either.

Tsk tsk tsk tsk

Yes, I'm thinking about not using Forti any more...

Please refer to this link for using Forticlient for ARM-based Architecture.

From what I've seen if you can get the MS ARM store copy to work it is only with SSL VPN. I'm just going to run an OpenVPN server and not even think about Forticlient. Company is a joke. Only their cheap prices make their product attractive, rest is a dumpster fire. Only Checkpoint has a ARM client, but their midrange products are slimmed down trash Quantum. Nobody really makes a good firewall anymore. Or their prices, like Palo are a joke.
