Connect via VPN on Windows
Step 1: FortiClient Download
You can download FortiClient for SSL-VPN connections right here by using one of the provided links. There is a 32-bit version and a 64-bit version available. If you don't know what system your computer is running on you're welcome to use this link here.
FortiClient for 32-bit systems: forticlientvpnsetup_6.4.6.1658.exe
FortiClient for 64-bit systems: forticlientvpnsetup_6.4.6.1658_x64.exe
Step 2: FortiClient installation
- After you have successfully downloaded FortiClient in the suitable version for your operating system, start the installation by right-clicking the downloaded file and select “Run as administrator”. Please not, your user required administrative privileges for this. You will potentially be prompted to enter username and password of a user with adminstrator permissions.
- At this stage, it could happen that an error message pops up (e.g. “Process unexpectedly failed” or alike) and the installation fails. In that case, please try again. Most of the time it will then work.
Step 3: Establish a connection
- In order to establish a connection via VPN to OTH Regensburg, start FortiClient by double-clicking the shortcut on the Desktop (or select FortiClient in the start menu).
- To disconnect from the VPN tunnel, right-click on the green shield with the lock symbol and choose “Disconnect OTH-REGENSBURG”.
