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]

I'm on 7.0.7 FCT VPN only(the gratis one) which is unfortunately available only via Support Portal. Fortinet does not seem to care to update the public one over @forticlient.com (Afterwards I saw that they finally manged to update it)

https://filestore.fortinet.com/forticlient/forticlient_vpn_7.0.7.0246_amd64.deb

So, I've had the same white menu issue in my case I checked the forticlient service and I was getting timeouts

systemctl status forticlient.service

fctsched Error receiving message from confighandler: Connection time out fctsched Error receiving message from confighandler: Connection time out

I stopped the service and did an strace for confighandler that pointed me to a missing directory.

I've created the /var/lib/forticlient directory and restarted the forticlient service which resulted in no more timeouts. Also the white menu was gone and I could use the VPN Client

We use SAML+MFA which succeeded but the client was unable to establish a connection

I change the log level and afterwards I was seeing in debug sslvpn logs

[sslvpn:EROR] vif:30 Failed open tun device
[sslvpn:EROR] vpn_connection:1264 Create VPN network interface failed
[sslvpn:EROR] vpn_connection:2131 Restore DNS failed

I set

sudo setcap -r cap_net_admin,cap_net_bind_service+ep /opt/forticlient/fortivpn

which seems to help. Perhaps it should be included in the install script and avoid the sudoers all together.

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

@iamtalhaasghar
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.
