I don't have time to maintain this snap any more, so I have archived the repository.

Besides, I don't think it makes sense to package a VPN in a snap: a VPN client interferes a lot with the operating system, running it inside a sandbox doesn't make much sense or isn't worth the pain any way.

openfortivpn

We use these files to create the openfortivpn snap from the openfortivpn sources.

openfortivpn is a client for PPP+SSL VPN tunnel services. It spawns a pppd process and operates the communication between the gateway and this process.

It is compatible with Fortinet VPNs.

Installing

Install the snap from the Snap Store:

sudo snap install --beta openfortivpn

Examples

• Simply connect to a VPN:

  sudo openfortivpn vpn-gateway:8443 --username=foo
  

• Connect to a VPN using an authentication realm:

  sudo openfortivpn vpn-gateway:8443 --username=foo--realm=bar
  

• Don't set IP routes and don't add VPN nameservers to /etc/resolv.conf:

  openfortivpn vpn-gateway:8443 -u foo -p bar --no-routes --no-dns --pppd-no-peerdns
  

• Using a config file:

  openfortivpn -c /snap/openfortivpn/common/config
  

  With /var/snap/openfortivpn/common/config containing:

  host = vpn-gateway
  port = 8443
  username = foo
  password = bar
  set-routes = 0
  set-dns = 0
  pppd-use-peerdns = 0
  # X509 certificate sha256 sum, trust only this one!
