Enable or disable VPN.

Enable or disable the eye icon to show or hide this feature from the end user in FortiClient.

Allow users to create, modify, and use personal VPN configurations.

Disable the Connect/Disconnect button when using Auto Connect with VPN.

Allow users to select a VPN connection before logging into the system.

If allowing users to select a VPN connection before logging into the system, enable this option to allow them to use their current Windows username and password.

Minimize FortiClient after successfully establishing a VPN connection.

Display information on FortiClient dashboard while establishing connections.

Block FortiClient from displaying any VPN connection or error notifications.

Use vendor ID. Enter the vendor ID in the Vendor ID field.

Select the current VPN tunnel.

Maximum number of attempts to retry a VPN connection lost due to network issues. If set to 0, it retries indefinitely.

Enable SSL VPN.

FortiClient disables Windows DNS cache when an SSL VPN tunnel is established. The DNS cache is restored after the SSL VPN tunnel is disconnected. If it is observed that FSSO clients do not function correctly when an SSL VPN tunnel is up, use Prefer SSL VPN DNS to control the DNS cache.

When disabled, EMS does not add the custom DNS server from SSL VPN to the physical interface. When enabled, EMS prepends the custom DNS server from SSL VPN to the physical interface.

Enable IPsec VPN.

Enter a VPN name. Use only standard alphanumeric characters. Do not use symbols or accented characters.

Select SSL VPN or IPsec VPN.

Enter the remote gateway IP address/hostname. You can configure multiple remote gateways by clicking the + button. If one gateway is not available, the tunnel connects to the next configured gateway.

Enter the access port. Available if you selected SSL VPN. The default port is 443.

Require a certificate. Available if you selected SSL VPN.

Select the authentication method for the VPN. Available if you selected IPsec VPN.

Enter the preshared key required. Available if you selected Pre-Shared Key for Authentication Method.

Prompt for the username when accessing VPN.

Available if you selected IPsec VPN for the VPN type.

Select Version 1 or Version 2.

Select Main or Aggressive.

Select Mode Config, Manual Set, or DHCP over IPsec.

Specify the DNS server for the VPN tunnel. Available if you selected Manual Set.

Enter the IP address to assign for the VPN tunnel. Available if you selected Manual Set.

Enter the IP address and subnet mask for the VPN tunnel. Available if you selected Manual Set or DHCP over IPsec.

Available if you selected IPsec VPN for the VPN type.

Select the encryption and authentication algorithms used to generate keys for protecting negotiations and add encryption and authentication algorithms as required.

You need to select a minimum of one and a maximum of two combinations. The remote peer or client must be configured to use at least one of the proposals that you define.

Select the encryption standard.

Select the authentication method.

Select one or more Diffie-Hellman (DH) groups from groups 1, 2, 5, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, and 21. At least one of the selected groups on the remote peer or client must match one of the selections on the FortiGate. Failure to match one or more DH groups results in failed negotiations.

Enter the time (in seconds) that must pass before the IKE encryption key expires. When the key expires, a new key is generated without interrupting service. The key life can be from 120 to 172,800 seconds.

Enter the local ID.

Enable implied SPDO. Enter the timeout in seconds.

Select this checkbox to reestablish VPN tunnels on idle connections and clean up dead IKE peers if required.

Select the checkbox if a NAT device exists between the client and the local FortiGate. The client and the local FortiGate must have the same NAT traversal setting (both selected or both cleared) to connect reliably.

Enable local LAN.

Enable IKE fragmentation.

Allow non-administrator users to use local machine certificates to connect IPsec VPN.

Available if you selected IPsec VPN for the VPN type.

Select the encryption and authentication algorithms that will be proposed to the remote VPN peer. You can specify up to two proposals. To establish a VPN connection, at least one of the proposals that you specify must match configuration on the remote peer.

Select the encryption standard.

Select the authentication method.

Select one DH group (1, 2, 5, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, or 21). This must match the DH group that the remote peer or dialup client uses.

Set a limit on the length of time that a phase 2 key can be used. The default units are seconds. Alternatively, you can set a limit on the number of kilobytes (KB) of processed data, or both. If you select both, the key expires when the time has passed or the number of KB have been processed. When the phase 2 key expires, a new key is generated without interrupting service.

Replay detection enables the unit to check all IPsec packets to see if they have been received before. If any encrypted packets arrive out of order, the unit discards them.

Enable PFS. PFS forces a new DH exchange when the tunnel starts and whenever the phase 2 key life expires, causing a new key to be generated each time.

Enable one-time password. Available if you selected IPsec VPN for the VPN type.

Enable IKE Extended Authentication (xAuth). Available if you selected IPsec VPN for the VPN type.

Only available if Enable XAuth is enabled. Configure the IKE Extended Authentication (xAuth) timeout in seconds. Default value is two minutes if not configured. Enter a value between 120 and 300 seconds.

Prompt the user for the certificate. Available if you selected IPsec VPN for the VPN type.

Enable single user mode.

Display Passcode instead of Password in the VPN tab in FortiClient.

Display a warning to the user that the certificate is invalid before attempting VPN connection. Available if you selected SSL VPN for the VPN type.

Save your username.

Allow non-administrator users to use local machine certificates. Available if you selected SSL VPN for the VPN type.

Enable and enter a disclaimer message that appears when the user attempts VPN connection. The user must accept the message to allow connection.

Show option to have the VPN tunnel remember the password. You must also enable this option on the FortiGate.

Show option to have the VPN tunnel always up. You must also enable this option on the FortiGate.

Automatically connect the VPN tunnel. You must also enable this option on the FortiGate. Automatic connection to the VPN tunnel may fail if the endpoint boots up with a user profile set to automatic logon.

Enable the on connect script. Enter your script.
