FortiClient SSL still showing no received bytes, but the 'Remote Desktop' from the APP store does work.

I then launched the 'APP' Remote Desktop, punched in my PC name at work and creds and boom I can login to my work PC. Still no received bytes like I would get in I went into the APP Store and saw their was an APP called 'Remote Desktop' I installed that and connected my FortiClient SSL to work. I was using the built-in Remote Desktop Application without success. So now both the built-in and App Store Remote Desktop applications are working. Strangely I now get the 'Warning' screen that you would normally see.

Just for the heck of it I switched it back to the default settings and saved. The default was 'Warn Me' However the warning screen was not coming up. I switched the setting to 'Connect and don't warn me' and that fixed the problem. In the built in MSTSC.exe 'Remote Desktop' I went into Options/Advanced/Server Authentication. Another FortiClient user and Sophos & Juniper SSL VPN clients having the same problem.ĭoes anybody have any idea what would be causing the SSL VPN to only send bytes but not receive. This is only the SSL VPN portion of the the FortiClient software and does not included AV or Firewall options.ĭoing some Googling, I've seen some other people with the same problem but no resolution. This is a clean install with no 3rd party applications, other than the Forticlient software. This is obviously due to no inbound packets coming back from the Fortigate appliance being allowed back to Windows 8.ĭisabling the Firewall doesn't have any affect on the condition. Once connected my sent bytes continues to increase which is correct. I can connect using FortiClient version 4.4.3.445. In Windows 8 Build 9200 it exhibits and odd behaviour. I use the FortiClient SSL application to connect to work.
