Re: SSL VPN Not auto-reconnecting

I have a situation where we are trying to allow a vendor to VPN into their device on our network, which is physically connected to our firewall. See the diagram attached. We've tried to create firewall policies to allow WAN 1 > Port 2 and Port 2 > WA...

Anyone ever see a Fortinet daily report get blocked due to malicious URL? I get daily reports from our fortigates and this one was blocked. This is what mimecast shows in the log. Strange is that same report, on the same day went to our helpdesk with...

We are having an issue with our FortiClient users not reconnecting after a brief network drop on their home internet. If they have a quick drop, we measured it at about 10sec, the VPN will reconnect/stay alive. But if they drop their internet for mor...

Yea, checked that one too. It actually caused some weird issues where the client would connect for 2sec, then disconnect, then reconnect for 2 sec, then disconnect again. It did this over and over. I had to disable it again.

Yea, I've looked at those docs. The only setting on EMS that I don't have set is the Save Password option. I wasn't keen on allowing users to save their password for the VPN. Seems to be a possible security hole. Is that really the only way to auto-r...

I know this is an old thread, but we are seeing more than a 50% drop between a user's native speed versus when on VPN. Their internet provider speed is 150M, on VPN it's 46M. We are on a FortiGate 200E running 7.0.9. The user has FortiClient via EMS,...
