Works like a charm!

Seeing the negative reviews had me going in with the expectation that it wouldn’t work. Idk if they fixed whatever the issue was for everyone else, but I was able to connect to my work’s VPN that uses Forticlient from my phone without issue.

I would say that if you can’t connect, try enabling “Single sign on” when setting it up. Whenever I normally sign in thru forticlient I am redirected and once I enabled that and tried again, I got my redirect on my phone and was able to sign in like normal
