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]

Hi, just installed and found an issue. The TOTP Token pop-up doesn't appear after pressing connect button

I updated to the most recent version (7.4.0.1636), but I noticed there are now some conflicting files between Mullvad AUR packages. I will look into resolving the issues in this package with these files, but for now if you want to install this along with Mullvad packages you can overwrite the files, or run one of the following commands:

pacman -R mullvad-vpn-bin-debug

pacman -R mullvad-vpn-debug

pacman -R forticlient-vpn-debug

yay is telling me that "forticlient-vpn: local (7.2.2.0753-2) is newer than AUR (7.2.2.0753-1)", the PKGBUILD states that the installation is 7.2.2.0753-2.

I updated this to 7.2.2.0753 which is the version linked in the forticlient download site (https://www.fortinet.com/support/product-downloads). This is the VPN only client, so the version is behind in comparison to the other clients which are currently at 7.2.4

Thanks for the explainer @meowser! + pushing the version!

Is there a way to build this with a newer binary? I can see in the apt repo there is 7.2.4.0809 but this is not available via the filestore.

In addition to @cbueche's suggested PKGBUILD, if you want to retrieve the VPN agent from Fortinet's servers, you can keep the same PKGBUILD and replace the version with 7.2.2.0753 and the SHA256SUM by 9ec6f07da10142417f154bbe83a247b8422e05dfd505766527b039a1089858bf.

If you want to valide the hash yourself/be able to update the PKGBUILD in the future:

The latest agent can be downloaded using https://links.fortinet.com/forticlient/deb/vpnagent which will redirect to the .deb file on Fortinet's filestore (which then gives the file name containing the package version)

I attempted to build an updated package, here is my PKGBUILD. It seems to work well.

Hi, there is an advisory (https://www.cisa.gov/news-events/alerts/2024/04/09/fortinet-releases-security-updates-multiple-products) and a new version available to fix it. Would you please consider an update ?
