Fortigate Client v7 on OpenSuse

Hi All

Can anyone at Fortigate please let us know when they will release an install package for OpenSuse and SLED

Also, I have tried everything I can think of to get Forticlient to work on OpenSuse Leap 15, but no luck. I have to connect to Company VPN using IPSec but now have to run a windows PC to provide Access to their network because for Some reason Fortigate thinks RedHat and Ubuntu is good enough,

 

Fortigate is an international product, they need to provide for all the mainstreams, including KDE as well.

 

Response on this will be greatly appreciated.

In case FortiClient VPN (the free version) doesn't help, you can try other alternatives like fortisslvpn plugin for Network Manager for SSL VPN, or strongSwan for IPsec.

Both work well when establishing tunnel with FortiGate.

We are using EntraID with Yubikeys to authenticate. This works very well with the original FortiClient VPN and even the full FortiClient (using chrome for the authentication), the opensource version does not support that. To my knowledge, strongSwan also does not support this. That's one of the reasons I am still digging into this.
