Installing and setting up the FortiClient VPN for Mac clients.

Registering for the VPN Service

You must first register to use the VPN Service, if you haven't already you can register here : VPN Registration

Configuring an SSL VPN Connection

There are two VPN options available when using the FortiClient VPN application, SSL and IPSec. SSL is the recommended option as it is more reliable and likley to work in all scenarios compared with IPSec which may not work from some networks like those in hotels and cafes. With the FortiClient installed you can configure both options and select the one that works best, we strongly advise testing the configuration before travelling.

Note: Before beginning, you should ensure your operating system is fully up-to-date with all updates and security fixes as well as the latest anti-virus or malware software.

FortiClient 6.2.0, FortiClient EMS 6.2.0, and FortiOS 6.2.0 introduce a new licensing structure for managing endpoints running FortiClient 6.2.0+. See Upgrading from previous FortiClient versions for more information on how the licensing changes upon upgrade to 6.2.0+. Fortinet no longer offers a free trial license for ten connected FortiClient endpoints on any FortiGate model running FortiOS 6.2.0+. EMS 6.4.1 supports a trial license. With the EMS free trial license, you can provision and manage FortiClient on ten Windows, macOS, and Linux endpoints and ten Chromebook endpoints indefinitely.

FortiClient 6.4.1 offers a free VPN-only version that can be used for VPN-only connectivity to FortiGate devices running FortiOS 5.6 and later versions. You can download the VPN-only application from FortiClient.com.
