### 1/5 — Even worse now

*2026-07-23*

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.

### 5/5 — v8.0 finally fixes autoconnect

*2026-05-14*

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.

### 1/5 — Não funciona com ZTNA via EMS

*2026-03-30*

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

### 1/5 — Can not save password

*2026-03-06*

For some reason I can’t not save password anymore,

### 5/5 — Funciona perfeitamente

*2025-10-16*

Utilizando para finalidades de ZTNA e VPN

### 5/5 — 好的

*2025-09-27*

好的

### 1/5 — Poor reliability

*2025-08-07*

I’ve had so many issues with FortiClient on both Mac and iPhone. On the iPhone, it has such a hard time connecting to the vpn and gives me an error majority of the time. It also makes it impossible to use other apps and even web browser. It slows the speed or blocks it completely. Such a pain

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2025-08-07*

Terrible

### 1/5 — Why is this app in French?

*2025-06-30*

I am from Germany and I have no idea why this app switches to French when I open it. For a second it’s in English but all of a sudden it changes…

### 1/5 — iOS support limited

*2025-06-13*

DNS resolving does not work. You have to enter IP addresses instead of hostnames (even in FQDN format) to access your LAN devices through VPN.
