Fortinet Vpn For Mac

FortiClient VPN Problems With OSX 10.11 El Capitan I installed the GM candidate of Mac OS X 10.11 El Capitan and my FortiClient VPN has stopped working. It completes the login, but after connection, no data is transferred - the incoming and outgoing freeze. It is a split tunnel connection and neither network or internet traffic works. For Google, expanding its ad business is a forticlient vpn key component to staving off competition from Facebook and, increasingly, Amazon, which has been building a forticlient vpn powerful, product-based ad business based off Amazon product searches. Today, Google makes nearly $100 billion a forticlient vpn year.

I've been trying since the first public beta, and now on the final GM Candidate. The VPN problem is there.

Basically, what is wrong is that OS X's resolver is sending traffic out through the primary (original) network interface, even though the route table correctly shows that the VPN tunnel (ppp0) should be used. When you use a command like nslookup, the DNS traffic goes through the VPN tunnel (ppp0) properly. DNS name resolution fails because my VPN client is told to use my corporate DNS server, but my corporate DNS server refuses to serve name queries from outside the corporate network. When the FortiClient VPN is connected, OS X's name resolution traffic arrives at the DNS server with the client's public Internet IP address, and hence is refused by my DNS server.

Technically, this looks like an OS X bug. Or, perhaps there really is something wrong that FortiClient is dong. Either way, I hope FortiNet can rectify or take it up with Apple to fix El Capitan. I logged a support ticket on this issue, and was told the current version of FortiClient was not supported on El Capitan. Pressing further on an update, seeing that El Capitan is GA next week, I got the reply that: 'I'm sorry but we do not have the requested information at the current moment.

There no ETA yet on when FortiClient will be supported with Mac OS X 10.11 [El Capitan].' I'm quite disappointed. It's like saying Windows 10 being due next week, and knowing they have a bug with Windows 10, and yet not having a clue about when that will get fixed. OS X may not be as big in numbers compared with Windows, but still a sizeable population of users are on it these days. Chris.Lin I have an FortiClient Mac interim build FortiClient_5.3.25.492_macosx.dmg here: Please try to see if it works for you. Hi Chris, thanks, it's really good to know that someone's working on this issue!

I've just tested the build but the problem is not resolved. It's a bit different now. The resolver's traffic is sent through the tunnel 'ppp0', but with the wrong source IP. It's using the source IP of the Mac's physical interface (e.g. 'en0') instead of the VPN tunnel IP. Using the 'nslookup' command does see the DNS queries going through the tunnel 'ppp0' with the proper source IP address, so this command works.

Hope this helps you!:).

Not sure if Fortinet makes it impossible to find the FortiClient SSL VPN application for Mac OSX on purpose or not but it appears to be free for the simple client version so I wanted to provide a location to download the client easily. On Windows you can bring up Internet Explorer and make a SSL VPN connection easily but since IE is not available on OSX it is necessary to have the stand alone FortiClient SSL VPN application. Be careful if you are going to download the Fortinet FortiClient elsewhere as if it is anything other than the simple SSL VPN client it is really bloated.

Download Fortinet FortiClient SSL VPN For OSX Please be aware that the above URL will not be updated on a regular basis so if you can find a newer version of the forticlientsslvpn.dmg file you may want to use that version instead. Again I just wanted to provide a download for this client since it seemed harder than it should be to locate. Once you download and double click the DMG file it will install forticlientsslvpn.app on your OSX device.

The configuration mirrors what would be configured if you are able to make a connection on Windows via Internet Explorer. Below is an example of what options you would need to input to make a successful connection including IP address of the Fortinet firewall, the port the SSL VPN connection is listening on, username, and password.
