openfortivpn is a command-line client for PPP+TLS VPN tunnel services, compatible with Fortinet VPN gateways. It spawns a pppd process and manages communication between the client and the VPN gateway, supporting username/password, certificate, SAML, and smartcard authentication.
Use cases
- connect to a Fortinet SSL VPN from Linux
- connect to corporate VPN from the command line
- set up PPP+TLS VPN tunnel on macOS
- authenticate to VPN with SAML login
- use a smartcard or Yubikey for VPN authentication
- connect to VPN with a client certificate
- script VPN connections with a config file
When to choose
- you need to connect to a Fortinet VPN gateway on Linux or macOS without the official client
- you want a lightweight CLI VPN client that can be scripted or run headless
- you need SAML, certificate, or smartcard-based VPN authentication
When to avoid
- you need a graphical VPN client with a tray icon
- your VPN uses a protocol other than Fortinet's PPP+TLS (e.g., OpenVPN, WireGuard, IPsec)
- you require multi-reader smartcard support, which is not currently supported
