VPNs were originally formed to enable users connect to their business networks securely while being connected to their home network. A few of the more recent time applications of VPN includes access to region-restricted websites, shielding your browsing activity from nosey eyes on public Wi-Fi, and more.

Today VPNs are very popular but not for the reason they were first created. VPNs lets you create a Secure Connection to another Network but over the Internet. I blame myself as much as Fortinet in terms of me not testing thoroughly enough before deployment, but when Fortinet is only doing quarterly releases, they need to make sure they are turning out A+ binaries.By Fragkos Maragkou – Solutions Architect 80%+ of the clients rolled back nicely, but there are some, that are giving me grief. Thankfully we have another VPN solution we were migrating from that the macs can use. I'd highly suggest testing a LOT before you roll 6.2.3 to your company and for me.I had to roll back to 6.2.2 for now. I will say that support has been great, but whomever did QA really put out a stinker of a release this go around. This was also a bug that they're working on and the fix is being tested. Has anyone been able to get this working? Are we still waiting from an official response/fix?Īs enthusiastic as I was about 6.2.3 fixing VPN, which for me it did, we encountered a huge performance penalty on the mac side due to a bug in the AV engine (Support aware, it's being fixed), and an issue with the FortiProxy on the Windows side that prevented our employees from getting to the benefits website for the company. 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). 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. The VPN connecte fine with 6.0, but I couldnt ping any devices.
