been using the Forticlient VPN from my Mac Mini with catalina just fine. I tried to download 5.6 (FortiClient_5.6.6.755_macosx.dmg) from / FortiClientMac/ Mac/ v5.00/ 5.6/ but it also connect but cant ping (no traffic). However, the moment they connect to vpn, their internet connection goes off. When I open FortiClientTools_6.2.2.685_ it extracts/decompresses the folder and inside the OnlineInstaller theres a DMG called FortiClient_6.2.2.685_OnlineInstaller.dmg, but when I run it nothing happens. If I login to my account at and go to / FortiClientMac/ Mac/ v6.00/ 6.2/ 6.2.2/ I only see a FortiClientTools_6.2.2.685_ (instead of a DMG file like FortiClient_6.0.8.149_macosx.dmg under / FortiClientMac/ Mac/ v6.00/ 6.0/ 6.0.8/ I tried to download the 6.2 version via this link ( ) but it simply simply opens up and says No updates found with a Cancel button at the bottom right with no way to proceed. It appears close to the recipe (the field names are slightly different from the recipe) but when I try to connect it prompts twice for the password then gives up.The VPN connecte fine with 6.0, but I couldnt ping any devices. I'm assuming some new security feature in the macOS 10.15.6 update is causing this, wondering if anyone else is seeing this and has any workaround.Īlso it would be grand if some kind person wrote a updated recipe for using the built-in macOS VPN client with Fortigates, tried following the recipe here but it doesn't seem to work (or I'm doing something wrong, quite possible).


This version supports from macOS Catalina (10.15) to macOS Monterey (12). Oddly, trying to connect to the Fortigate as my own admin account from the problematic machine (via any browser-tested Safari, Chrome, and Firefox) also fails to even reach the login page, get a connection dropped message. Download the best VPN software for multiple devices. Checked in Security settings in OS and don't see any difference between the machines. Tested same credentials on other machines and they work normally. The other two machines still on 10.15.4 are working fine. Forticlient VPN stopped working I had been using the Forticlient VPN from my Mac Mini with catalina just fine. Updated one of the machines to the latest OS update, 10.15.6, and now get permission denied errors. Download the best VPN software for multiple devices. Installed Forticlient VPN 6.4 on the fresh out of the box Macbook Airs, configure, and it works fine. FortiClient VPN The VPN-only version of FortiClient offers SSL VPN and IPSecVPN, but does not include any support. My client has a Fortigate 60D (running firmware FortiOS v5.2.9, Build 736). Hey there-a word to the wise-I'm setting up three identical new Macbook Airs.
