OpenFortiGUI is an open-source VPN-Client to connect to Fortigate VPN-Hardware. It is based on openfortivpn and adds an easy to use and nice GUI on top of it, written in Qt5.
Unlike other VPN-clients it is also possible to connect to multiple VPN-destinations simultaneously. It is an replacement for the closed-source Forticlient – SSLVPN Client.
Features include:
- Qt5 GUI
- openfortivpn library built-in, no separate download required
- All settings saved in text-files, so easy to share, passwords saved AES-encrypted (key can be defined as needed, GNOME keyring & KWallet support)
- VPNs divided into local and global sections (readonly, useful for deployments to many users)
- VPN-groups can be defined to start groups of VPNs at the same time
- Trayicon with fast access to start/stop VPNs and groups
- Multiple VPN connections possible simultaneously
- Certificate and user/password auth supported
- 2Factor support
- Autostart VPNs on program startup
- English, german, catalan (thanks wagafo@github) and japanese (thanks tsundeoku@github) language
- Optional: KRunner Plugin for KDE5

OpenFortiGUI spawns new processes for every VPN connection profile.
You can also start a VPN connection on terminal and so use gdb. For example: sudo /usr/bin/openfortigui –start-vpn –vpn-name [yourvpnname] –main-config ‘/home/[yourusername]/.openfortigui/main.conf’
Just replace [yourvpnname] with your vpn profile name and [yourusername] with your Linux username.

Thank you for the hard work! openfortiGUI 0.2.10-dev is working fine for me on Solus OS.
Hi, I’m happy to see a Solus user that was able to get this working.
I tried running the complie/make steps on this page, but it failed at qmake. Saying no such package.
I tried installing it with sudo eopkg install qmake but that also didn’t work.
Any suggestions? Thanks.
Please install the package qt5-base-devel via software center. After installation, qmake will be available in /usr/bin directory

Thank you vince.
I was struggling with the same issue.
did u solve the problem?
I try to use it to connect to my VPN, it just doesn’t work, no error message
Thanks sooo much for this application. It really has saved me being able to run this on Linux. The product from the actual vendor is a pile of shite. Thanks for doing their job for them.
Working great for me on KDE Neon. One wish, an option to close/minimize to system tray. Otherwise, just perect! Thank you so much!
After having used it for some time I have found that it doesn’t close the process when I close the application, so I will have to kill it manually before I am able to open it again. That would be good to have fixed.
Hope this issue was solved in your github request.
Hi,
great tool, thanks a lot for your work. I noticed the same way out issue : when I close the window application, process still runs in background, so I cannot relaunch it.
Using the linux version for debian LTS 16.04.
We have 2FA and the GUI version does not support that yet, something you will implement?
Thanks in advance!
You are right, this is not implemented right now. I am working on this, but its quite hard to “hook” into the existing openfortivpn code without changing too much code. But stay tuned, updates will come.
2FA/OTP is now supported in latest version 0.3.0 and above. Please give it a try and leave feedback: https://hadler.me/2017/07/openfortigui-0-3-0/
Hi,
thanks for great app. I’ve found one problem – after Disconnect it does not delete added route (if configured in Options tab -> “Set routes”).
Hello, this should be fixed now in recent versions.
Speaking of features that might be hard to implement, there doesn’t seem to be support for HTTP proxies as in forticlientsslvpn’s “Global settings”.
Unfortunately I rely on features that are provided by openfortivpn. You can make a feature request there: https://github.com/adrienverge/openfortivpn/issues
openfortigui its an incredible software, just need some fixes. As they already commented you , it doesnt delete added routes when the quitting connection is established by the VPN.
Thank you !!! cheers
Hello, this should be fixed now in recent versions.
Great work!
It works for my work connection with a lil problem.
Using “FortiClient SSLVPN 4.0.2333”, after negotiation three lines were added to my resolv.conf file:
search spaced.dsd
nameserver 10.71.xxx.xxx
nameserver 10.71.xxx.xxx
Using “openFortiGUI 0.2.10-dev” only the nameserver lines are added to resolv.conf, lacks the search line:
nameserver 10.71.xxx.xxx
nameserver 10.71.xxx.xxx
So connection works but I need to apply the spaced.dsd suffix manually to machine names/intranet links. Not so handy 🙁
Thanks and best regards.
Thanks for your feedback. This seems to be a problem with openfortivpn. You can submit a bug-report here: https://github.com/adrienverge/openfortivpn/issues
Thanks.
How Can I share this Connection?
i’ll do:
echo “1” | sudo tee /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
sudo iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o ppp0 -j MASQUERADE
sudo iptables -A FORWARD -o ppp0 -i eth0 -m conntrack –ctstate NEW -j ACCEPT
sudo iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 172.16.0.0/16 -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE
but dont working 🙁
Really appreciate your effort! I really do. However I’ll stick with the CLI version.
Firstly, because it’s cli 🙂 Yes, gui is a very nice eyecandy and it can store passwords as well so I’m a single click away, but… It’s a GUI. So SSH is a no-go for this version.
Secondly, because either it still needs some polishing or I do not get how it should behave. I created a connection, hit on Connect and it turned green. A second later it became red and since then I can no longer make it green (connect) again. Logs are not filling any more either

So I’ll just stick with CLI 🙂
Thanks for your feedback.
Yes, OpenFortiGUI is designed for GUI but can also be used in CLI. For example: openfortigui –start-vpn –vpn-name your-vpn-profile –main-config ‘/path/to/main.conf’
The only downside is that it still needs the QT-libraries. So on a remote server its still best to stick with openfortivpn.
Concerning your problem: This is weird, its already connected but aborts the connection later on. What features are you using with your vpn (certs, otp). Is there any log on your Fortigate? Have you tried openfortivpn to validate the problem?
Thanks.
Thanks for the information about the CLI. When I tried to run it on amd64 it give the error Segmentation fault (core dumped)
The command was run like this (the post ^^ is missing the double –) :
openfortigui –-start-vpn –-vpn-name your-vpn-profile –-main-config ‘/path/to/main.conf’
Any thoughts about what can be happening (the conf file works properly from the GUI)?
Thanks
run strace and keep an eye on those file not founds.
in my case an abort core dumped – situation resolved when i apt install –reinstalled two xinerama related packages. ubuntu 18.04.1.
netikras: the same happened to me. I selected the connection and click on disconnect again even if it was disconnected. After that I was able to connect again.
Hi
I realy like your official forticlient deb packages. I tried this GUI and it looks great but i cant get it to work.
both the endpoints I’m connecting to are plain ip’s no dns names and no reverse lookup zones.
they wont connect and all I find in the log is the following
ERROR: gethostbyname: Unknown host
INFO: Closed connection to gateway.
ERROR: connect: Connection refused
INFO: Could not log out.
Hello, this sounds like something is wrong with your VPN-Server name. Maybe there are Whitespace-chars included or other special chars. Have you checked your vpn-profile in text-mode? They are located in ~/.openfortigui/vpnprofiles. Try to open your profile with a text-editor and check the chars.
Thank you very much for your application. I had same problems as jelle (I used czech letter č (c with caron) in VPN server name. After I had removed it, everything worked.

Pingback: Connecting SSL VPN FortiGate using Fedora 24 | >> IT UnderStandings <<
I’m having an issue where I can connect and get a tunnel running to the Fortigate, however, when I start an rsync, it connects via ssh to a machine behind the fortigate fine, but after a couple of minutes the VPN disconnects. In the logs I get a
ERROR: read: Input/output error
INFO: Cancelling threads..”.
Ironically, If I just leave the VPN connected, it is fine, if I ssh to the same box it is fine. It only happens when trying to run an rysnc over the VPN when I run into the problem. Also I can VPN/Rsync fine from a windows 10 machine.
Any and all help appreciated.
Oh yeah, I’m running Ubuntu 16.04.3 64 bit.
Hi,
there were segfaults on older versions but this seems to be a problem with the vpn core itself.
Please try out the latest version (now 0.3.4) as it also includes updates on the openfortivpn core.
I’m running it on a debian 9. The application seems to work until i try to connect to the VPN. It does nothing. And when I try to see the logs of the VPN, the log files aren’t there.
Also I ran the app within a terminal to see if I can get any additional info but it doesn’t write anything to the terminal output.
Tahnk you.
I learned to set the app in Debug mode and it was possible to capture the app log when trying to connect to the VPN.

Hi,
this log output is not really useful.
Please provide the vpn log file, just right click on your VPN and “Logs”. Also enable “Debug” log in your VPN setting, thanks.
I have the same problem on Debian 9, the program seems to do nothing. The logs associated to single VPN connections are empty, even after pressing the connect button: it appears the program doesn’t even attempt to connect!
Same thing here on debian 9.
On Debian 9, according to this comment (https://github.com/theinvisible/openfortigui/issues/6#issuecomment-312454202) you need to open openfortigui with sudo. I tried and it worked. Don’t know it’s not required on Ubuntu. Anyone has an idea?
This works for me, but is it safe to launch with sudo?
Thank you very much for this great tool, Rene.
Hi,
I think that it is a perfect program that helps me work just every day. Just, I just would like to have double click on a line fire the connection not the edition of a vpn. In the same idea, enter should fire a connection. But out of those small asks (no ETA in there, just suggestions), just perfect.
Thank you very much for you work.

I’m using the GUI smoothly, thanks for developing and sharing with the community!
Nonetheless, I’m having trouble adding the apt mirror to my machine (Ubuntu 16.04). I’m getting an error while trying to add the key

I had 3 strange issue here in kubuntu 17.10
1. I can connect through IP address but not the hostname
2. WIFI cannot used after disconnect from VPN. Need manually disconnect an reconnect the wifi again
3. There is a “question” mark in the WIFI icon after successful the VPN connected
Thank you
Hi,
openFortiGUI is using the system dns resolution. So if its working on cmd it should work also in openFortiGUI.
But i have to admit that i didnt really tested it on non LTS releases.
Cheers Rene
Hi,
I have the same problem on ubuntu 17.10, that VPN server name doesn’t resolve. If I use IP instead of VPN server name, then everything works fine.
Otherwise great job 🙂

IPSec is a completely different technology. See strongSwan or similiar. Cheers Rene
Hi!!
The first time I tried to connect to my work’s VPN, I received a notice from my IT department that I generated 70k requests to the file server, which falled.
I’ve been asked to use the official client, though it’s not clear whether OpenFortiGUI was the problem or not (I was accessing remote folders and remote desktop connection). I saved the log of the connection and I had the debug mode ON: I see nothing weird, a lot of
DEBUG: gateway —> pppd (125 bytes)
DEBUG: pppd —> gateway (72 bytes)
and sorts. But the logfile has less than 2000 lines in total.
Since I’m no expert, I’d like to have a confirmation that everything is in order, before I dare to try it again. And if it’s possibly a bug, it’s good to tell you also.
You think OpenFortiGUI could somehow enter an infinite connection loop?
Thanks for your help and work anyway
Hi,
openFortiGUI only communicates with the specified IP and Port with your VPN-Gateway. Any other traffic is caused by other programs on your computer. Maybe you ask your IT-department to use Wireshark or similiar to investigate vor details.
Cheers Rene
Many thanks! Working like a charm under Ubuntu.
Is there possibility to autoconnect VPN after system reboot?
Thanks. There is no option yet for autostart functionality. But i will record for future releases. : )
Many thanks for your reply. Will be waiting 🙂
Hi,
Version 0.4.2 is now out with an autostart feature for VPNs.
To activate just check the option “autostart” in your VPN-profile. You still need to put OpenFortiGUI in your DE autostart, best minimized (Activate “Start minimized” in OpenFortiGUI settings).
Wau! Many thanks.
That was really fast.
Already installed new verision and everything seems working.
Great job!
Help!!! So, I’m new to umbuntu. It’s my son’s pc. My laptop is MIA, and I need to work from home tomorrow. I’m a life long windows user, and I was state of the art desktop support… in 1999 LOL.

You dont need the openfortivpn package, its already included in OpenFortiGUI. Please try to connect by IP-adress, there seems to be some issues with your DNS it seems.
Hi Ti,
first thank you very much! Keep up the good work!
I’ve a minor issue regarding the display scaling on high DPI display (4k). On the HDPI display, the font of the gui dialog / text boxes is very big. So there is not much space for text; in fact not enough.
Could you please check on HDPI with window scaling set to e.g. 2.
Also, the connection / settings window is of fixed size so it can’t be enlarged.
All minor UI issues. The product is great.
Sorry, I cannot connect:
Server name is 100$% correct. We have some servers that have a postix URL e.g. /vpn. Is that relevant for the settings? Where do you enter this?

Please provide forticlient for ubuntu 18.04
I got it working on 18.04 without problems.
There are now specific packages for 18.04.
On Ubuntu 18.04 VPN server names don’t resolve (the same issue was on Ubuntu 17.10). The connection works when I give VPN server as an IP address instead of server name.
There is also “try” icon any more (version 0.4 had visible try icon on Ubuntu 17.04 and 18.04 beta).
But still, you have done great work 🙂
It seams, that the issue with Gnome-Shell “try” icons is the Gnome-Shell issue. Sorry for mentioning 🙂
Are you using the specific 18.04 build or the 16.04 one? I could not reproduce the resolving issue until now. When i make a testinstall with a fresh Ubuntu 18.04 and test with latest OpenFortiGUI name resolving is working. Thanks for further hints.
Hi,
I’m currently using version from the package “openfortigui_0.6.1-1_bionic_amd64.deb”. So, I believe this is the right one for Ubuntu 18.04. I deleted my openfortigui profile and created all the connections again, but still, when I use domain name instead of IP address there will be no connection. If I use IP the connections will be started without any problems. In journalctl I see something like:
kernel: openfortigui[4034]: segfault at 2b8 ip 0000559e4bc76894 sp 00007ffe3b0289f8 error 4 in openfortigui[559e4bc2e000+d3000]
Please try 0.6.2 as there is a reworked DNS resolving now.
Thank you, excellent job 😀 Now the DNS resolving works.
The Ubuntu 18.04 link points currently to an old version 🙂
I forgot to mention, that this type of error:
kernel: openfortigui[4034]: segfault at 2b8 ip 0000559e4bc76894 sp 00007ffe3b0289f8 error 4 in openfortigui[559e4bc2e000+d3000]
appears only if I try to use domain name.

Hi,
openfortivpn core changed the DNS behavior: https://github.com/adrienverge/openfortivpn/commit/f3830844090d9107112fb83dd93089da4961add1
So please keep in mind to check your DNS settings in OpenFortiGUI and explicitly check to set your DNS.

I’ve been using openfortgui since it’s first development and i want to thank you for this incredible work of you. Do you think , if it’s possible for you , add support in the client to interact with KeepassX ? it could be a nice feature . I dont expect to see it any time soon , but could be a nice addition for the project
Thank you !
Any plans to support Ubuntu 14.04?
Thanks!
Ubuntu 14.04 has an old Qt version and deprecated dependencies which dont allow compile OpenFortiGUI. Also support ends in half year so this makes no sense really.
Hello
I have to use it in a Raspberry whith Raspbian.
I try to compile it without success.
Do you know how can i do?
Thanks
Raspberry has a different CPU arch so maybe there are some adjustments required. I can only support x86 and particularly Ubuntu as supported OS. But patches for Raspberry are always welcome.

Hi Ti, I’m using the latest version of OpenFortiGUI (OpenFortiGUI 0.7.0 64bit). Seems it’s working fine, but where I should place the 2FA code once I got it?
Thank you in advance.
Best,

BTW, I use SMS as 2FA. Not OTP, at the moment.
Thanks for your request.
I never tested with SMS as 2FA. There should be a popup where you can input your 2FA key. If not this version will not work with SMS 2FA.
You could try to enable debug log and post the log on github. The popup for 2FA only appears when the program sees a special keyword from openfortivpn so maybe this changed with SMS 2FA.
Hi
We are also forced to use SMS for 2FA. Do you have any plans to support this

Übung Nummer 2 zu dem “schnell Abnehmen” ist der “herabschauende Hund” in einer Variante.
Ich habe drei Yogaübungen für das “schnell Abnehmen” ausgesucht.
Du k?nntest natürlich nicht sofort abnehmen, aok gewichtsmanagement wenn du
jetzt einmal diese Yogaübungen machst. Viele Leute wollen ja letztens schnell abnehmen, sie dürfen richtig schnell, schnell abnehmen. Jogging ist eine
sehr effiziente Möglichkeit, mit dieser du deinen Hüftspeck loswerden kannst.
Der Frühling ist auch da und wie jedes Jahr fragen sich viele: Wie kann ich glauben schenken Hüftspeck loswerden? Denn ne kurze vorherigen Essgewohnheiten sind
durch ein Grund, warum du überhaupt Hüftspeck hast.
Wenn das zu schwierig ist natürlich, bringst du – inside dem
Fall ist es jetzt – den linken Fuß vor deinen Bauchnabel
und stützt dich ab. Wichtig bei der Übung, damit sie auch in der tat effektiv ist, um
leicht abzunehmen, ist, dass man deinen Po nicht aufgrund hinten ausstreckst, wie den Entenpopo.
Und denken, dafür müssen sie die Kalorien reduzieren, also so has been, wie eine Diät machen, um
dann schnell abzunehmen, um schnell Gewicht zu verlieren.
Und Übung Nummer 3, 1 schnell abzunehmen – man weißt, du musst dieses
regelmäßig machen, diese Übung – möchte ich dir diese Übung zeigen. Das sind
meine drei Übungen, um schnell abzunehmen.
Und im Yoga, ich kann du assi versprechen, gibt es
Übungen, pass away gehen richtig auf pass away Muskulatur, sodass
man da eben in die Fettverbrennung kommt und schnell und
effektiv abnimmt. Weil, pass away Muskeln sind der Ort,
wo die Fettverbrennung stattfindet. Und dann presst du noch die Innenseiten deiner Oberschenkel richtig fest zusammen. Gehen Sie dabei so tief wie möglich, mindestens aber so, dass Ihre Oberschenkel parallel zum Boden sind.
Der ganze Körper ist angespannt, nur Zehen und Unterarme berühren living area
Boden. Du stellst uns in dem Fall bei die rechte Hand, bringst die
Füße voreinander und der Körper ist geradlinig. Diese kurbeln wiederum ne
kurze Verdauung an und spülen den Körper gründlich durch.
Für die Ausführung legst du dich wieder durch dem
Rücken auf ne kurze Trainingsunterlage. Dann bringst man das Knie vorne zwischen deine Ellbogen,
der Rücken ist rund. Sondern, wenn du das Becken kippst, nach
vorne kippst, und der Entenpopo verschwindet, pass away Knie zur Seite zeigend.
Halte die Position anstatt ein paar Sekunden darüber hinaus senke deinen Oberkörper danach wieder leicht
ab, weniger dich auf der Trainingsunterlage komplett
abzulegen. Halte auch diese Position für ein paar Sekunden und wiederhol die Übung.

@Luzemario, I also have the same problem.
Please try again and run “apt update” first. There are some problems with the automatic repo build.

There were problems with automatic deployment, should work now again with new version.

Since about a week neither forticlient nor openfortigui is working anymore on my Linux Mint 18.3 laptop using 2FA.
In forticlient I get an insufficient credentials error while in openfortigui the following logs are written:

It seems, that forticlient cannot handle the response which triggers the popup for the pin code anymore.
Reinstalling linux is not working and Mint 19 is not an option due to the lack of hibernate on the laptop.
Does anyome have experienced the same lately
By the way, it is 2FA with SMS and it is my understanding, this is not yet supported.
Are there any such plans?

Hmm it seems like your website ate my first comment (it was super long) so
I guess I’ll just sum it up what I submitted and say, I’m thoroughly enjoying your blog.
I too am an aspiring blog writer but I’m still new to the whole thing.
Do you have any tips and hints for inexperienced blog writers?
I’d really appreciate it.
