VPN stuck at status 98%

We are running Windows Server 2012 R2. We have installed the most recent FortiNet client (vpn only), version 5.2.0.0591. We have configured an SSL-VPN connection. When we click on the " connect" button, the status progresses all the way to 98% and then hangs. We have disabled the windows firewall, do not have any anti virus software installed, no group policies are being applied, and no other applications are running when we attempt to make the VPN connection. Thanks for helping!

Hi,

I seem to be experiencing this problem, or very similar problem. 

 

Forticlient hangs at 98% while connecting.  But this only happen occasionally -- especially if the connect dropped for some reason and I try to connect again (possibly every time this happens).

 

I am able to get Forticlient to connect if I reboot my machine.  So maybe this is not the identical problem discussed here.  Sometimes it gives the "You already have an open SSL VPN connection" warning, but not always. Either way, it stops at 98%, after a minute or so, it just clears the login fields of the forticlient window as if nothing had ever happened.

 

Rebooting my machine "resets" something and makes connection possible.  But this is a frustrating workaround.  

 

Is there a process or service I should be able to restart that would have the same effect as rebooting?

I have also faced this issue. This is problem with window. If u will use same client in another window it will work. My problem.was resolved by formating window. And also check.if u r using right version of client.check in support.fortinet.com.

Dear, We are having problem regarding VPN authentication. Due to security concern, we request our client to purchase public IP from any vendor (DSL, Fiber etc). After taking public IP information from client, our team will bind this public IP for VPN connectivity so that authentic user can connect (who has public IP).

Hi everyone!

 

I'm having the same issue (stuck 98%) but apparently all ok about network devices. 

 

Version 5.4.0.0780

 

Here's my log:

Hi Everybody.

 

I've got the same issue on my Microsoft Surface Book W10 Client. Is there any solution to this problem?

 

For me, I can reinstall the Fortinet Client on my device and work for around one week without problems. But after some point I can't connect until I reinstall the client on my device.

 

Thank you and best regards

Fabian

Hi

 

Still no Feedback from Fortinet or other solutions? It's been months now...

I know the workaround to get the VPNClient working again, but that's just a frustrating problem of this client and with issues like this, we can't use it with customers!

While it may or may not apply to each situation but is seen under certain conditions, I would double check two addl. things if it was not already part of any previous workaround:

 

a) excessive amount of phantom network devices (hidden + non-present [meaning: previously connected])

 - start a cmd 'as administrator' (i.e.: Start->type: cmd -> Ctrl+Shift+Enter)

 - in this admin-cmd enter: set devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices=1

 - then enter: devmgmt.msc

 - in the device manager window that gets opened: enable the display of hidden devices from the menu

  (phantoms visually differentiate from 'default' hidden devices as they show up more in gray but there's no general rule that you can just delete all of them without risk (i.e. some may become phantoms due to hardware Wifi/Bluetooth/WWAN switches being disabled, etc. so it is rather an indicator if you are not familiar with it or ... you have a good backup ).

 

b) try to rule out the other usual suspects (isatap, 6to4, teredo) if not in use:

 - from the admin-cmd:

   netsh int isatap set state disabled

   netsh int teredo set state disabled

   netsh int 6to4 set state disabled

(the default state is 'default')

 

After this it may require a reboot, depending on the condition the VPN client is in. Once again: it may not apply to each error situation but is worth a try.

On a completely buggered machine, Option 3 from above thread #65 worked perfectly fine

Hi,

 

I already tried all these solutions but still get the 98%error from time to time. The only temporary solution is a reboot of the Client. Is there any timeline, until Forti has this issue fully solved in a new VPNClient?

 

Thanks and best regards

Fabian,

 

We have this issue off and on as well. My SE's and TAC's have not been able to determine a root cause for our solution. We have to try a mixture of the previously mentioned solutions in order to resolve.

 

It is annoying but at least there is a "work around". Hopefully a solution appears soon.

Hello,

 

I've been experiencing this on Win 8.0

The KB: http://kb.fortinet.com/kb/documentLink.do?externalID=FD36630

solved the issue.
