Ratings and Reviews
Save Password Does Not Work
Seems to be an aged issue as others have also reported this. It makes the VPN unusable in my opinion. It is just to cumbersome to add in a password after every time your phone is locked/unlocked. Why have a save password toggle if it doesn’t actually save password??!! I’ll give it 2 stars simply because the free but there are better options out there.
Broken - Do not use until they fix it!
I have a FortiGate FTG-201F and cannot connect to the SSL-VPN from an iOS/ iPadOS device using this app. The authentication (including 2FA) works and then the device presents an “internal error”. After troubleshooting the issue with FortiGate support, it was identified that the 3-way handshake does not complete with a “Reset” flag (value of 1) sent from the app back to the FortiGate device and the connection is dropped. I understand that this sounds like a forum issue or a support ticket, but the FortiClient team is separate from the FortiGate support team and does not provide VPN support for users of the free app. They also don’t provide any way to contact them or provide feedback. I hope this review makes its way to the FortiClient team and they can fix the issue for all users.
My FortiGate firmware version is 7.2.5, build 1517 and the iOS version on my iPhone14 is 16.5.1. Thanks for fixing this issue FortiClient team.
IPSec Config Issue (Changes Server Address)
When entering the server address for IKE setups the connection is auto prefixed with https:// after saving the config. This makes the IPSec setup unusable. Fortinet is pushing to use IPSec for client VPN but was unable to use this for a client setup. Please fix this programming issue as soon as you can.
