Arch Linux User Repository

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]

Hello, community!

I made the first attempt to update to version 7.0.7.0246, but I wasn't successful. The main screen of the application turned blank. The output in terminal show me the follow error:

Failed to connect to confighandler: connect(127.0.0.1:33973): error Connection refused
Failed to get config. Retry after 1 second.

I still have no idea how to resolve this error

The code is avaliable for contribuitions at: https://github.com/douglasimcabral/forticlient-vpn

If you facing Backup Routing Table Failed issue. I found there are two ways to fixed it temporarily. You can try one of them.
1. Set the network ip address as static only instead of DHCP.
2. Login to router setting page and change the network ip range to 10.0.0.0/8 or 172.16.0.0/12 instead of 192.168.0.0/16.

@douglasimcabral

Could you update the package to 7.0.7?

Thanks a lot

I installed the client and it has been working flawlessly, even with SSO against AzureAD, then suddenly it stopped. The client authenticates, and all looks good - but the connection is never established.

Has anyone ever experienced this?

Could you please fix this application for Artix(openrc)? I mean without systemd this application shows white blank screen.

I installed the FortiClient Version from here and it mostly works for the traditional standard SSL VPN. One thing I find constantly failing is the Single Sign-On Option for SAML Login with 2 factor Authentication. Anyone has an idea if there is a dependency missing or what else could go wrong?
