Even worse now

This update makes it impossible to even turn the VPN on. And every method I read to fix it says to turn it off, turn it on, or turn my phone off and then turn it on again. I don’t have time for this when I’m on a traffic stop and have to go thru this whole rigmarole just to do my job. This app is awful.

v8.0 finally fixes autoconnect

FortiClient has been a pain in the past, but the major upgrade to 8.0 finally brings many fixes. The ones I have been working for the most are autoconnect, even if the app is in the background.

Não funciona com ZTNA via EMS

É frustrante uma aplicação desse nível de importância não funcionar, chega beirar o ridículo, vou voltar para o OpenVPN
