If you have a FAZ look for the reason as "Lost the connection"

Or perhaps all those folks are on crappy DSL? Or people with problems have the same FortiClient version? Also check your build. What are you on right now? We went to 6.0.9 recently and a VPN bug required us opening a ticket with Fortinet to get a pre 6.0.10 build (v6.0.9 build8661) to fix it.
I have the same problem, do you solve it?
I have 6.2.4, i think i have downgrade, but i need that version, the 6.0.10.
Thanks a lot!
I wouldn't downgrade. Versions are too different. I'd try a version newer than 6.2.4 and see how that helps. I think they are on 6.2.5 now.
When you downgrade you can loose some newer features and even the config UNLESS you have a backup from the version you are reverting to. In all the years I've used Fortigates (16 years) I've never done a downgrade. It can be done, but be careful with your config backups. Good luck.
These are all the SSLVPN Bugs resolved in 6.2.5
