Ne se connecte pas

iPhone 15 pro Max: Configuration IAM Okta, redirection sur la page de login... et une seconde après le lancement du vpn (donc pas le temps de lancer le login sur navigateur externe) revient à l'appli et échoue la connexion.

Desconexão automática

Eu não sei o que acontece entre o FortiClient e o sistema IOS. Depois de um pequeno período de tempo, simplesmente a VPN cai. Isso dificulta quem usa para trabalhar Home Office

No IPsec VPN option

I recently was provided access to a VPN account for our FortiGate firewall. It uses IPsec which this app doesn’t have so I can’t VPN to my server with this app.

Please add ability for IPsec.
