How to turn off FortiClient Android prompt to turn on Wi-Fi?

Every time I launch FortiClient on an Android device (FortiClient v4.1.1.0019, Android 4.1.2), if Wi-Fi is not already turned on, the FortiClient insists on prompting me to turn it on. How do I disable that prompt? thanks,

There is no way to stop the prompt for now, but it will need Internet access to work anyways, right? However, you can also try FortiClient 5. It has bug fixes for VPN.

Hi Chris, My mobile devices have 3G data, so Wi-Fi is not always required (and sometimes, depending on the situation, is not desirable) as the transport for VPN access. The FortiClient 5 beta not only still makes this prompt, but quite incorrectly labels it, instead of " Wi-Fi is off" , " Enable Internet Access?" . Internet access IS already enabled. And the only options are " Yes" and " Later" . It must also have a third option for us to tell FortiNet " I know what I' m doing better than you do, so No and Stop Bugging Me About This Forever" . -Jay
