Most Valued Members Nightowl 206 Posted July 12, 2023 Most Valued Members Share Posted July 12, 2023 (edited) Once ESET auto updated , FortiClient stopped working again I have reported about this bug before in the BETA Phase. I will try to disable Web Access or revert to the old version if I found it , if not I will have to uninstall to keep accessing my destinations.

Administrators Solution Marcos 5,156 Posted July 12, 2023 Administrators Solution Share Posted July 12, 2023 Currently only a few VPNs listed at https://help.eset.com/eeau/10/en-US/web_access_protection.html are supported. It is possible that the list will be extended in the future as we find workarounds for particular VPNs. Please raise a support ticket so that we can research the possibility to add Forticlient VPN support as well. Peter Randziak 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will do so , is there anyway I can workaround it through the settings or I have to revert to older version or keep Web Access disabled? It auto-updated , I didn't realize it's v10 coming , I thought another patch to v9 , that's why I didn't know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Most Valued Members Nightowl 206 Posted July 12, 2023 Author Most Valued Members Share Posted July 12, 2023 I know that GUI isn't a high priority now , but I would like to report that graphical look bug , even when Web Access is disabled , main page still shows that "You are protected" in a green style , I believe it should act like Windows edition with Red color of it being disabled or atleast Yellow.

Hello I tested it at my environment and it works as expected and once you disable WAP in gui is red notification like in windows. In your case it could be caused by following policy or setting: Peter Randziak 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter I'm afraid there is nothing I can exclude since I lose access to the whole software I don't think it would make a difference if I would exclude my VPN IP , since the whole program stops working when Web Access Protection is running If I can exclude some other way that I am not aware of , please tell me , but for me I can wait more time , I have it off for now (web access protection) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FranceBB 7 Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 Well, I can reproduce it on two different Fedora installations too, which is why I'm sticking with 9.x. Speaking of which, in order to still update when new versions are gonna be released, is there a way to disable the web protection without ESET Protect Cloud? A configuration file perhaps? A command line entry? I know that the GUI is low priority, but it would be nice to add an option to enable/disable components in there too.

Most Valued Members Nightowl 206 Posted September 19, 2023 Author Most Valued Members Share Posted September 19, 2023 (edited) I have updated to 10.1.8.0 and re-enabled Web Access Protection but sadly same problem remains , I've tested because I have read from release logs that it got improved. It can be re-produced by downloading FortiClient VPN (VPN only) deb package from here https://www.fortinet.com/support/product-downloads And having ESET web access protection to be running in the same time. No need for login or passwords or VPN's IP , the GUI will not work as long as Web Access Protection is running. Thank you.

Pau 0 Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 Hello! I have the same problem... When is it expected to include FortiClient among the VPNs that work with ESET? Has anyone found any alternative solution (besides the one marked here as "solution")? Greetings, and thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
