Issues with SSL-VPN on MacOS after upgrade to FortiOS 7.2.8.

[christinm]

Hello,

Not sure if this is the right place to put this, but I've noticed major issues with FortiClient SSL-VPN connections from MacOS on FortiGates running 7.2.8.

Right after the upgrade, users started getting disconnected every 5-10 minutes with no disconnections or errors showing in the FortiGate logs. I tested with various FortiClient VPN versions (as low as 7.0 versions and as high as 7.4 versions), but had the same behavior for all.

Eventually I've had to downgrade to FortiOS 7.2.7, and SSL-VPN works without a problem for the same users, with no changes on the endpoint side.

Is this issue on Fortinet's radar? If so, any fixes in the works?

Hello Christin

I see FortiOS 7.2.9 has many bug fixes for SSL VPN, and is more stable than 7.2.8.

I think you should try it and see if it resolves your issue.
