Forticlient VPN on OpenSUSE Tumbleweed
I was encountered a problem when installing Forticlient VPN .rpm packages on OpenSUSE Tumbleweed. I got the .rpm from its official website.

| dependencies error by Forticlient VPN .rpm package on OpenSUSE Tumbleweed |
It seems thge dependencies are enterprise Linux based packages (RedHat and its derivatives), so it very difficult to make it works in OpenSUSE. Then I found that OpenSUSE has its own package for forticlient, in the OpenSUSE Tumbleweed repo there is openfortivpn as the replacement of official Forticlient rpm packages.
openfortivpn is a client for PPP+TLS VPN tunnel services. We can write a configuration file, for example /etc/openfortivpn/my-config
host = vpn-gateway port = 8443 username = foo set-dns = 0 pppd-use-peerdns = 0 # X509 certificate sha256 sum, trust only this one! trusted-cert = e46d4aff08ba6914e64daa85bc6112a422fa7ce16631bff0b592a28556f993db
Then execute openfortivpn like this
openfortivpn -c /etc/openfortivpn/my-config
