Install FortiClient VPN on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS - Linux Shout
Tutorial on how to install free FortiClient VPN on Ubuntu 22.04 Jammy JellyFish using the command terminal for security.
FortiClient is a security solution designed to reduce your computer’s vulnerability. The manufacturer advertises that the tool comes with virus protection, two-factor authentication, and WAN optimization, among other things.
However, the FortiClient user interface itself only contains the vulnerability scan and a tab in which you can set up a VPN connection for remote access.
The vulnerability scan indicates when, for example, an application is outdated, so there is potential for an attack and an update is urgently needed.
The abbreviation VPN stands for “Virtual Private Network”, a self-contained network that you can access from anywhere with the right access data. For example, do you log into the company network from your home office to use printers, hard drives, and your work e-mail inbox, or do you dial into your home network while on the go and conveniently control your smart home from afar? Universities also allow their students secure access to the university network via VPN.
