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
