On Windows you can bring up Internet Explorer and make a SSL VPN connection easily but since IE is not available on OSX it is necessary to have the stand alone FortiClient SSL VPN application. Be careful if you are going to download the Fortinet FortiClient elsewhere as if it is anything other than the simple SSL VPN client it is really bloated.Download Fortinet FortiClient SSL VPN For OSXPlease be aware that the above URL will not be updated on a regular basis so if you can find a newer version of the forticlientsslvpn.dmg file you may want to use that version instead.
