alternative to forticlient for IPSec vpn? [closed]

our company has a fortigate firewall and we forticlient software. the software has many function like antivirus, parental contro, vpn etc. but we only use it for the vpn purpose.

my question is there any other alternative IPSec vpn client which is compatible to fortigate?

We use a preshared key, to connect the vpn

thanks

Solution 1:

The Shrewsoft VPN Client is an alternative to FortiClient.

FortiNet has a KB entry. There they have a zipped PDF with instructions. (Why they had to ZIP the PDF, I have no idea.): Fortinet KB #FD33774: Technical Note : How to configure Windows version of Shrew Soft IPSec VPN tunnel with a FortiGate (Archived here.)
