Forticlient Vpn For Mac

Configuration

As China is such a large country we have created two VPN connection points to help improve performance. Which one you should use will depend on where you are located within China but general advice is to connect to the one that is geographically closest:

We recommend that you create two connections in Forticlient VPN and then try both to see which gives the best performance.

1. Open FortiClient from either Applications (within Finder), search in the Spotlight box or click the black shield (in the menu at the top of your screen).
2. Click Configure VPN in the middle of the FortiClient VPN screen
3. For VPN select 'SSL-VPN'
4. For Connection Name enter, for example, 'VPN-ED-SSL from China' - Note newer versions many not allow the use of special characters - /:'<>()%@#
5. For Description enter 'SSL VPN Connection to UoE from China'
6. For Remote Gateway enter '47.112.118.73'
7. Tick Customize port and enter 8443
8. Leave all other values with their default settings:
   • Enable Single Sign ON (SSO) for VPN Tunnel = unticked
   • Client Certificate = 'None'
   • Authentication = 'Prompt on login'
   • Do not Warn Invalid Server Certificate = ticked
9. Click Save to save the configuration

Now create a second VPN connection for China North by clicking on the menu to the right of the 'VPN Name' field (3 horizontal lines).

Select 'Add a new connection' from the menu and repeat steps 1 - 7 above but using the following values

• Name VPN@Ed - SSL China North
• Description SSL VPN Connection to UoE from China North
• Remote Gateway 182.92.210.105

Connection

1. Launch the FortiClient VPN application if it isn't already running
2. Select the VPN connection you have just created from the 'VPN Name' field
3. Enter your username(uun) and VPN password (separate from normal password) and click 'Connect'.

Troubleshooting

If you are having problems connecting once you have setup your new VPN connection then check the troubleshooting and common issues page for some suggestions.

A client of mine stumbled across this issue and after some digging it appears to be fairly common. In my experience, FortiClient tends to have more issues with Mac OS in general. For this particular problem though I have had success by rolling back the FortiClient. Downloading the latest from FortiClient tends to be the spot where most people run into issue. Not sure what it is about the older versions that work versus the new one but it is an obvious bug.

If you are sitting around waiting for it to be resolved I wouldn’t get your hopes up. Fortinet tends to be a little slower resolving MAC related issues with the FortiClient software when compared to Windows etc….guess we can chalk that up to market share.

Forticlient For Mac Big Sur

Anyways, roll back your client to an earlier version and see if that resolves the issue for you. I would give you a specific version to roll to but it seems to vary from environment to environment.

Thing To Remember: Sierra is brand new, so the issues, obviously, may not be on the FortiClient side (at least not completely). Worm gear design calculation pdf.
