Hello everybody,
today I noticed something very strange. I'm working in my office, and all we employee have a public IP address that is:
79.x.x.x
Anyway, I'm using a free VPN client on my MacBook (ProtonVPN).
This client allows to connect for free to one random location. This is the IP address assigned to me:
If we double check:
everything is fine. What's the problem? The problem is that FortiClient EMS shows the old IP address, the pubblic IP address of my office:
This is a problem because now I'm considered On-Fabric (because of the IP 79.x.x.x) when I should be Off-Fabric. Why is this happening? Is FortiClient capable of working with other VPN clients?
Hello Raffael
It seems FortiClient bypasses the VPN client (confirmation needed).
