An alternative to using the FortiClient client on MacOS when connecting to VPN. This uses xbar - https://xbarapp.com/ with openfortivpn - https://github.com/adrienverge/openfortivpn to provide an alternative, faster and easier way of connecting to VPN.
Requires openfortivpn to be installed. Easily installed using Homebrew
# Install 'Homebrew'
/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
# Install 'openfortivpn'
brew install openfortivpn
Once installed - follow the instructions from here to setup openfortivpn and make sure VPN is able to connect using the client via terminal - https://github.com/adrienverge/openfortivpn.
The FCOVPN client provides a MacOS menu bar which can easily be configured to call scripts. While xbar can be used to call many scripts - this has been specifically configured just for FortiClient VPN.
The package is a complied vesion of the FCOVPN client. This can be extracted to /applications and run. Included is the openfortivpn plugin. Configuration can be found here - https://github.com/jiriteach/fcovpn/blob/main/releases/plugin/001-openfortivpn.sh. Check the parameters and connect.
