No new version of VPN-only agent
FortiClient (Windows) 7.4.4 to 7.4.7 do not include a new version of the free VPN-only agent as no feature updates were made to the free VPN-only agent between 7.4.3 and 7.4.7. Users can continue to use the FortiClient (Windows) 7.4.3 free VPN-only agent.
No IKEv1 support for IPsec VPN
Starting from 7.4.4, FortiClient (Windows) does not support IKEv1 for IPsec VPN. Please migrate to using IKEv2 instead.
No support for concurrent third-party tunneling or proxy clients
Using third-party tunneling or proxy clients (including VPN, DNS, HTTP(s), SOCKS, ZTNA or PAC files) in parallel or nested combination with FortiClient's VPN, ZTNA or Web Filter is not recommended nor supported.
No support for ZTNA TCP forwarding on Windows WSL2
FortiClient (Windows) does not support ZTNA TCP forwarding on Windows WSL2. As a workaround, use WSL1 or install FortiClient Linux directly within the Ubuntu environment in WSL.
