About:
Openfortivpn is a lightweight, open-source client for connecting to Fortinet VPNs via PPP+TLS. It establishes secure tunnels to FortiGate firewalls without requiring proprietary software. Its main value is providing a reliable, scriptable CLI alternative to the official client on Linux and macOS.
Key Features:
  • Command-line interface for easy scripting and automation
  • Lightweight with minimal dependencies
  • Supports two-factor authentication (2FA)
  • Configurable via config file or command-line arguments
Use Cases:
  • Automating VPN connections in CI/CD pipelines and container environments
  • Providing Linux users with secure access to corporate Fortinet VPN infrastructure
Alternatives:
  • FortiClient – Official proprietary client with GUI, but heavier and not available on Linux
  • OpenConnect – Open-source client for Cisco AnyConnect and other VPNs, but not Fortinet-specific
