confirm it works

Which version of FortiClient did you use the fix with? I am using FortiClient 7.4.0.1636, but when I enter the credentials, it stays in status: connecting for a while and then never connects.

Hi @Mac85, my current Forticlient version is 7.0.13.0376

Could you please tell me where i can download this version?

Unfortunately, I use company provided version which I can't share with you

I understand, it is e custom version. Unfortunately your fix doesn’t work for me with last version of forticlient.

@Mac85 if you run Forticlient app, it means it worked (the purpose of this script). If you struggle with connection, its different problem and I propose you to contact admin of host you want to connect to.

@Mariyo Yes the app started correctly even without running your script. It only gives me problems when I try to connect

thanks for sharing 👍 unfortunately same here stucks on coonnecting, i use the latest VPN forticlient version from their web
version: 7.4.0.1636
