Easy Connection to FortiGate's Standard IPSEC Mobile VPN

Are you struggling to connect to your FortiGate's standard IPSEC mobile VPN? If so, this article may be just what you need. While some users have suggested installing the official FortiClient software, it does not always solve the problem. In fact, the FortiGate support team may not even understand the differences between the Windows and Linux versions of FortiClient.

The issue is often caused by a handshake error, which can be frustrating to deal with. However, don't worry - there's an easy solution that doesn't require installing additional software. By following these simple steps, you can connect to your FortiGate's standard IPSEC mobile VPN from your Linux machine.

Step 1: Download the Offline Installer

First, download the FortiClient 6.4 offline installer for Linux. This is a crucial step, as it will allow you to configure your VPN connection without needing to install additional software.

Step 2: Configure Your VPN Connection

Once you've downloaded and installed the FortiClient software, it's time to configure your VPN connection. To do this, open your desktop connection manager and add a new VPN connection. Select VPNC as the type of connection and enter the following parameters:

* PFS (Perfect Forward Secrecy): Group DH 5

* NAT-TRAVERSAL: NAT-T if available (default)

* Cryptographic method: Secure (default)

* Group password: 'ipsec psk' = yourpsk (replace with your own PSK)

* Group name: 'ipsec group id' = 0

Step 3: Add Your VPN Connection

Once you've entered all the necessary parameters, click 'Add' to add your new VPN connection. You can then open your connection manager and connect to your FortiGate's standard IPSEC mobile VPN.

It's worth noting that this method works with the following parameters:

* The VPN was created using the FortiGate wizard

* No particular tuning had been done on the FortiGate

By following these simple steps, you should be able to easily connect to your FortiGate's standard IPSEC mobile VPN from your Linux machine. This solution is especially useful for those who are unable to use the official FortiClient software.
