Community,

The Fortinet provides two products, "FortiClient EMS" and "FortiClient VPN only". This package only correspond to "FortiClient VPN only" and your lastest version is 7.0.7.0246 at 03-09-2023.

If you are interested in "FortiClient EMS", I suggest following the AUR package 'forticlient' [https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/forticlient]

This package needs to add as a dependency "core/net-tools" , without it the vpn is unable to add routes from the firewall.

Thanks for sharing the scripts @Meowser, it will work as a temporary solution, but I hope it gets fixed in the main repo as well :)

Meowser commented on 2024-11-12 13:40 (UTC)

@kristo I had the same issue and someone at my work came up with a solution to modify the resolv.conf. I ended up with this script using inotifywait, whenever the file is changed this will fix the bad name.

#!/bin/sh

if [[ $EUID -ne 0 ]]; then
   echo "This script must be run as root"
   exit 1
fi

inotifywait --monitor --event create --include 'resolv.conf' /etc |
while read file; do
    if grep -q example.com /etc/resolv.conf
      then
        sed 's/comname/com|name/g' /etc/resolv.conf | tr '|' '\n' > /tmp/resolv.conf.new
        cp /tmp/resolv.conf.new /etc/resolv.conf
    fi
done

I run it with a systemd job at network startup:

# /etc/systemd/system/forticlient-fixer.service
[Unit]
Wants=network-online.target
After=network-online.target

[Service]
ExecStart=/root/bin/monitor-resolv.sh

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

I have an issue where the dynamic resolv.conf file does not get created correctly if a dns-suffix is provided in SSL-VPN configuration in FortiGate.

forticlient package version: FortiClient Version: 7.4.0.1636

It creates the resolv.conf file like this:

Dynamic resolv.conf(5) file for glibc resolver(3) generated by forticlient
The original resolv.conf is backed up as /etc/resolv.conf.forticlient.backup, and will be restored after VPN disconnects.

search example.comnameserver 10.10.10.53

Somebody else gets this error:

Notification: Create VPN network interface failed

Was not working upon install on KDE - stuck on connecting forever. Fixed by installing libgnome-keyring, do not know how to edit PKGBUILDS, moreover not familiar with uploading them here, so maybe someone can add this as a dependancy?

mcmann commented on 2024-08-20 19:43 (UTC)

The only issue I've been having with this package is actual VPN connection. I am able to send data but I cannot receive data; tunnels are not being successfully opened. This is with ipv6 being temporarily disabled for the sake of testing.

amos commented on 2024-08-15 13:09 (UTC)

With version 7.4.0.1636 (and not with 7.0.7.0246) I get the following error:

Failed to create instance lock file [2]

anyone know something?

Meowser commented on 2024-07-31 20:55 (UTC)

I pushed an updated with some of the dependency changes listed in previous comments by sshijacker. I had removed some of these in a previous build because they were flagged as unnecessary
