VPN Server may be unreachable (-14) in Windows 10 (Forticlient SSL VPN)

I had tried to setup VPN connection. Using the latest version client and firewall. In windows During the login time it shows

"VPN Server may be unreachable (-14) " . Status shows 80% complete. BUT it works in ANDROID..!!! Anyone resolved this ?

This error also occur if you use the non-fully licensed VPN client, and the SSL VPN configuration on the fortigate firewall has the "Host Check" option enabled. (SSL VPN Portals -> Tunnel Mode -> Host Check)

Try to disable TLS 1.0 / 1.1 in internet options

Hello abhimanyu.

 

Did you solve the problem?

I'm experiencing the exact same problem/error message? I then tried to change the Internet Explorer settings and disabled the TLS 1.1 and TLS 1.2. But that did not solve the problem. Any further suggestions?

@bitbauer

 

did you use the latest forticlient? (6.2.x)

Yes, I'm using version 6.2.2.087. I also tried to reinstall the FortiClient without luck.

 

I had installed another VPN client(ShrewSoft VPN Client), but uninstalled it and then reinstalled the FortiClient. Also no change. Perhaps that installation left something behind on my Windows 10 workstation?

 

I should also mention that I have internet access via TV cable, which assigns a IPv6 address to my router. Perhaps that causes a problem, too?

Tried it on a different computer, same result :(

 

Here is what was logged:

My colleague is able to connect with his user account on another computer though...

UPDATE: Found a solution...just installed an older Version of the FortiClient (6.0.2.0128) and connection could be successfully established!
