I have been desperately been trying to figure out alternatives such as: Note: I use the free license for Forticlient just needing to use VPN functionality. Īnd that was final and to get in contact with Fortinet Sales Please refer below FCT compatibility guide for your reference. I would like to mention that starting with FCT 6.2.0 many things has changed, Free Forticlient 6.2.0 comes up with basic and limited VPN functionality and if you want to use full functionality of 6.2.0, EMS licenses has to be procured. I raised this with Fortinet support who confirmed the feature had been removed: This setting is a major ‘bread and butter’ setting enabling remote users to do proper domain logins from remote and apply Group Polices etc. This gets me to my current issue: The “Enable VPN before logon” option has been removed from 6.2. After a call with Fortinet support they concluded that only new Forticlient version 6.2 would work with FG 6.2 This indeed does seem to be the case.


The first thing I noticed was that my older 6.0.4 Forticlient version would no longer connect using its IPSEC VPN profile. I recently upgraded my Fortigate to Firmware 6.2.
