Fortinet SSLVPN client stuck at 45%

Hi there.

Got a client on a PC which gets stuck at 45% with "Unable to establish the VPN connection. The VPN server may be unreachable. (-8)".

 

Any clues on how to solve this?

I already uninstalled - rebooted - reinstalled... no success.

 

Thanks and regards,

F.

Hi guys...

I installed FortiClient and it UPGRADED the existing SSLVPN Client - now it works!

I believe the necessary drivers were missing - these have been for sure installed from the new FortiClient.

 

Any inputs/updates are wellcome!

How exactly did you fix this problem? I'm having real trouble with it right now.

Just a thought, have you looked into newer NIC drivers on the client?

that has/had been an issue for us when clients get stuck at 89% (although may be unrelated)

Hi PIDDLAW - no, I didn't bother with newer NIC drivers.

Will keep it in mind next time it'll happen.

 

BTW: is there anywhere some reference of the various percentage errors?

It can be generally  causing due to 2FA. Check whether you have configured 2FA for the users
