Seeing the negative reviews had me going in with the expectation that it wouldn’t work. Idk if they fixed whatever the issue was for everyone else, but I was able to connect to my work’s VPN that uses Forticlient from my phone without issue. I would say that if you can’t connect, try enabling “Single sign on” when setting it up. Whenever I normally sign in thru forticlient I am redirected and once I enabled that and tried again, I got my redirect on my phone and was able to sign in like normal

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.

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.

Wholly unable to connect to our new FG-121G because the this client doesn’t support the settings that the desktop version does. And we’re not about to reduce our security posture because of an obsolete free client.If you absolutely need VPN on iOS consider a different solution than FortiGate. Clearly a modern working iOS client is not a priority for Fortinet.

I go through and enter in my credentials, etc, and get a blank white screen, except for the word cancel in upper right. This appears to be a known issue, and it appears nothing is being done about it. We were forced to use fortigate, and it literally shut down half the department. I wish we could go back to our old vpn.

Doesn’t work in the slightest. No error messages or anything, it just refuses to connect in app or in settings. I’ve tried troubleshooting it for two hours and I’m getting nowhere with this. Doesn’t matter if you have the wrong or right info, there’s no feedback from the app, it just won’t do anything.
