Подключение Linux Ubuntu 20.04, 20.10, 21.04 к Forti VPN

Предыстория

Так уж получилось, что для удаленного доступа к работе приходится использовать Forti VPN.

В Windows за подключение отвечает отдельное приложение, а в Ubuntu 18.04 раньше использовал пакет из репозитория openfortivpn и GUI клиент с сайта https://hadler.me/linux/openfortigui/ .

Интерфейс OpenFortiGUI

Не феншуйно, но работало. Времени искать более правильное решение не было.

Сейчас, когда только-только вышла Ubuntu 20.04 работающего без ошибок GUI Forti VPN клиента еще не выпустили.

Прежде всего в репозитории я нашел для GNOME пакет network-manager-fortisslvpn-gnome. В результате его установки в настройках подключения появился пункт настройки VPN и возможность выбора типа подключения.

Добавление нового подключения Fortinet VPN

Безусловно это вселяло надежду, что получится отказаться от громоздкого GUI приложения.

После создания и настройки нового подключения появляется соответствующий пункт в панели управления.

Но вот незадача, не подтягиваются DNS сервера от DHCP сервера. После многих часов поиска ответа на вопрос что же происходит привели меня к следующему выводу. Оказалось, что наш VPN-cервер Forti использует SSL для шифрования, а его использование по умолчанию отключено в systemd.

Решение

Итого, чтобы настроить подключение к Forti VPN с шифрованием SSL и корректным использованием DNS серверов нужно:

1 — Установить network-manager-fortisslvpn-gnome

sudo apt-get install network-manager-fortisslvpn-gnome

2 — Открываем файл /etc/systemd/resolved.conf . Далее ищем строчку DNSOverTLS, раскомментируем ее и присваиваем значение opportunistic. Потом раскомментируем строку Domains и прописываем доменное имя DNS-сервера. После чего дописываем DNS.

[Resolve]
DNS=X.X.X.X
DNS=Y.Y.Y.Y
#FallbackDNS=
Domains=corp.yourdomain.com
#LLMNR=no
#MulticastDNS=no
#DNSSEC=no
DNSOverTLS=opportunistic
#Cache=yes
#DNSStubListener=yes
#ReadEtcHosts=yes

3. Перезапускаем systemd

sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl restart systemd-networkd
sudo systemctl restart systemd-resolved

Затем переподключаем соединение или для избежания доп проблем вообще перезагружаемся.

Все, при новом подключении к VPN серверу DNS серверы должны начать использоваться системой.

Альтернативное решение

Есть всегда альтернативный способ прописать DNS-серверы вручную и для этого нужно:

1 — Установить resolvconf

sudo apt-get install resolvconf

2 — Затем открыть один из файлов в папке /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d (head или tail)

3 — После чего прописать в файл информацию о DNS серверах.

FortiClient 7.0

Fortinet Fabric Agent for Visibility, Control, and ZTNA

Overview

FortiClient Unifies Endpoint Features

FortiClient is a Fabric Agent that that delivers protection, compliance, and secure access in a single, modular lightweight client. A Fabric Agent is a bit of endpoint software that runs on an endpoint, such as a laptop or mobile device, that communicates with the Fortinet Security Fabric to provide information, visibility, and control to that device. It also enables secure, remote connectivity to the Security Fabric.

The FortiClient Fabric Agent can:

• Report to the Security Fabric on the status of a device, including applications running and firmware version.
• Send any suspicious files to a Fabric Sandbox.
• Enforce application control, USB control, URL filtering, and firmware upgrade policies.
• Provide malware protection and application firewall service.
• Enable the device to connect securely to the Security Fabric over either VPN (SSL or IPsec) or ZTNA tunnels, both encrypted. The connection to the Security Fabric can either be a FortiGate Next-generation Firewall or SASE service.

FortiClient is offered with several levels of capabilities, with increasing levels of protection. It integrates with many key components of the Fortinet Security Fabric and is centrally managed by the Enterprise Management Server (EMS).

Zero Trust Agent with Multi-factor Authentication (MFA)	The Zero Trust Agent supports ZTNA tunnels, single sign-on (SSO), and device posture check to FortiOS access proxy
Central Management via EMS or FortiClient Cloud	Centralized FortiClient deployment and provisioning that allows administrators to remotely deploy endpoint software and perform controlled upgrades. Makes deploying FortiClient configuration to thousands of clients an effortless task with the click of a button.

Vulnerability dashboard helps manage an organization’s attack surface. All vulnerable endpoints are easily identified for administrative action.

Windows AD integration helps sync an organization’s AD structure into EMS so the same organization units (OUs) can be used for endpoint management. Realtime Endpoint Status always provides current information on endpoint activity and security events.

Central Logging and Reporting Centralized logging simplifies compliance reporting and security analysis by ForiSIEM or other SIEM product Dynamic Security Fabric Connector EMS creates virtual groups based on endpoint security posture. These virtual groups are then retrieved by FortiGate and used in firewall policy for dynamic access control. Dynamic groups help automate and simplify compliance for security policies. Vulnerability Agent and Remediation Vulnerability agent and remediation ensures endpoint hygiene and hardens endpoints to reduce the attack surface. This identifies vulnerable endpoints and prioritizes unpatched OS and software vulnerabilities with flexible patching options including auto-patching. SSL VPN with MFA Secure Socket Layer (SSL) Virtual Private Network (VPN) with MFA enables an easy-to-use encrypted tunnel that will traverse most any infrastructure. IPsec VPN with MFA IP Secure (IPSec) VPN with MFA enables an easy-to-use encrypted tunnel that provides the highest VPN throughput. FortiGuard Web Filtering

Powered by FortiGuard Labs research, the web filtering function monitors all web browser activities to enforce web security and acceptable usage policy with 75+ categories. It works across all supported operating systems and works with Google SafeSearch. The endpoint web filtering profile can be synchronized from FortiGate for consistent policy enforcement. Administrators can set black/white lists, on-/off-net policies, and import FortiGate web filtering policies for consistent enforcement.

FortiClient now supports a web filter plugin that improves detection and enforcement of web filter rules on HTTPS sites with encrypted traffic.

USB Device Control This capability prevents unauthorized USB devices from accessing the host. Split-tunneling Supported on ZTNA and VPN tunnels, split-tunneling enables optimized user experience Single Sign-on (SSO) SSO integrates with FortiAuthenticator identity and access management to provide single sign-on.

Application inventory provides visibility of installed software. In addition to managing licenses, software inventory can improve security hygiene. When software installed is not required for business purposes, it unnecessarily introduces potential vulnerabilities, and thereby increases the likelihood of compromise.

Administrators can reduce the attack surface by leveraging inventory information to detect and remove unnecessary or outdated applications that are potentially vulnerable.

Schools continue to enhance their technologies in the curriculum and the adoption of personal devices such as Chromebooks are increasingly commonplace. School districts are required to be in compliance with Children’s Internet Protection Act (CIPA) and protect students from harmful content while browsing the internet.

Consistent web filtering policy enforcement on and off campus

Powered by FortiGuard Labs research, the web filtering function monitors all web browser activities to enforce web security and acceptable usage policy with 75+ categories. It also supports Google SafeSearch.

• Supports safe browsing for K-12 on and off campus. No reverse proxy or VPN is required
• Categorizes more than 43 million rated websites and 2 billion+ web pages
• Consistent with web filtering policy on FortiGate
• Works with Google SafeSearch and supports custom denied/approved lists
• Monitors all web browser activity including HTTPS

Forticlient – SSLVPN .deb packages

Forticlient – SSLVPN is a VPN Client to connect to Fortigate Devices with minimal effort, packaged here for Ubuntu and Debian.

Officially there is only a generic tar.gz package available. As I use Ubuntu most the time, I decided to build .deb packages for 32/64bit Ubuntu with a nice desktop icon to start : )

This packages should also work on debian, but i did not test this on myself now (will follow).

For upgrades just download the new package and install it, the package manager will do the upgrade for you.

I will share my packages here for you to download:

Update 14.4.2017 (build on Ubuntu 16.04):

Since version 4.4.2327-2 builds are generated on Ubuntu 16.04.

Old versions (build on Ubuntu 16.04):

it’s been a while since I left comment on blog post 🙂
But this deb package is working on linux mint 20.2

It’s perfect, it works on Debian 10 without any problem. Thank you, God bless you.

Wood home furniture has one thing very natural regarding it.
There is this sense of comfort, of nature and of luxury that could be be
found in hardwood furnishings. Hardwood is birthed coming from the earth.
It feeds the fire, degenerates in to ashes and blows away.
It is actually extremely near the human presence in the world.
May be actually that is why it reverberates so much with us.
When you handle a rich mahogany work desk, might be actually that is why you still get
that warm sensation.

Nice work. But I have a problem when there is a lot of data to transport over the VPN. It looks like the VPN limits the datastream to 15-16Mbit/s. Is there a way to change this limit? I use a RD and need to check remote camera’s. I tried other RD clients. No difference. So it must be the VPN client.
Thx.

thank you so much 😀 its work for my on Ubuntu 20.4

Which package did you get?

Gracias, 2020 y sigue siendo util.

Works fine in Linux Mint 20 is based on Ubuntu 20.04.

Hi could me send command how to install in ubuntu 20

How did you install Forticlient SSLVPN on ubuntu 20.04? I am newbie to linux

forticlient not working on ubuntu 20.4 .Please give me a solution.

Thankou. saved me….

thank you SO MUCH!! (ubuntu 18.04)

I’m installed this .deb package on debian 10 but setup failed!!

The problem occurs because ldconfig is inside /sbin and since debian 10 is not going up the directory within the PATH variable, it generates this problem. To fix it, just open the /etc/profile file and add /sbin after games, making it like this:
==
PATH=”/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/games/sbin”
==

Then just give a command source in file /etc/profile file and run dpkg -i with .deb.

And don’t forget to insert your user in sudoers file, to exec the app, because per default in installation the debian don’t insert users in sudoers file.

Sob! Doesnt work on ARM, would love to have a version compiled and installable on Raspberry Pi Debian.

sudo dpkg -i forticlient-sslvpn_4.4.2333-1_i386.deb
dpkg: error processing archive forticlient-sslvpn_4.4.2333-1_i386.deb (–install):
package architecture (i386) does not match system (armhf)

Suddenly, I have the following error: OpenSSL: error:1409442E:SSL routines:ssl3_read_bytes:tlsv1 alert protocol version.
(it has worked for months before this error)

ZTNA Edition Features	This edition includes all the features in the ZTNA Edition plus the following:
AI-powered Next-Generation Antivirus (NGAV)	Anti-malware leverages FortiGuard Content Pattern Recognition Language (CPRL), machine learning, and AI to protect endpoints against malware. The pattern-based CPRL is highly effective in detecting and blocking polymorphic malware. It also blocks attack channels and malicious websites.
FortiClient Cloud Sandbox	FortiClient natively integrates with FortiSandbox. FortiClient automatically submits files to the connected FortiSandbox for real-time analysis. Sandbox analysis results are automatically synchronized with EMS. Administrators can see detailed information and behavior activities of submitted objects including graphic visualization of the full process tree.
Automated Endpoint Quarantine	When triggered by security events, automated endpoint quarantine automates policy-based response. For example, it can automatically quarantine a suspicious or compromised endpoint to contain incidents and prevent outbreaks.
Application Firewall	The application firewall provides the ability to monitor, allow, or block application traffic by categories. It uses the same categories as FortiGate, enabling consistent application traffic control. It leverages FortiGuard anti-botnet, IPS, and application control intelligence and can prevent the use of unwanted applications including proxy apps and HTTPS messaging apps.
