Standalone Forticlient SSLVPN connect before windows logon

[lucas6479]

Is there any way to get the fortissl network adapter to connect before logging into windows? I can see the icon to connect, but it won't connect unless I run the forticlient app first. Is there a setup on the actual adapter that will solve this?

I don't know if there's a way with the SSL VPN only client, however I do know that even the free tier of the forticlient does support pre-login VPN activation. Launch the Forticlient as an administrator (so the settings tool is available) and find the section titled "VPN Options". Tick the "Enable VPN before logon" box and you're golden.

If you do find a way to do it with the SSL VPN client though, I'd be interested to hear it!
