Working With Windows/Mac VPN Client¶
Before the first login, you must configure the VPN. In the New VPN Connection section, provide the name of your VPN connection and the following settings:
| Name | Value |
|---|---|
| VPN | SSL-VPN |
| Remote Gateway | reconnect.it4i.cz |
| Port | 443 |
| Client Certificate | None |
Optionally, you can describe the VPN connection and select Save Login under Authentication.
Save the settings, enter your login credentials and click Connect.
Note
Make sure your username and password are correct. If you enter invalid credentials, FortiClient VPN returns a general warning (-14).
Linux Client¶
Connection will work with following settings:
| Name | Value |
