It launches pppd, handles the TLS session to the gateway, and bridges that gateway communication to a local point-to-point network interface. ### Projektgeschichte The GitHub repository was created in January 2015 to provide an open client for Fortinet VPNs, filling a practical gap for Unix-like users who wanted a scriptable FortiGate SSL VPN client without relying on proprietary GUI tooling. The changelog shows the project evolving around real VPN compatibility work: OpenSSL compatibility, resolvconf integration, DNS suffix handling, smartcard support, one-time-password and FortiToken-push handling, host-check support, systemd notification, TLS certificate fixes, and later SAML login support in the 1.23.0 series. ### Adoptionsgeschichte openfortivpn spread through operating-system package repositories because it solves a narrow but common enterprise problem. The README lists packages for Fedora/CentOS, openSUSE/SLE, Gentoo, NixOS, Arch Linux, Debian, Ubuntu, Solus, Alpine Linux, Homebrew, and MacPorts. ### Wie es verwendet wird Operators run openfortivpn with a gateway, username, optional realm, certificate settings, or a config file such as /etc/openfortivpn/my-config. Because it spawns pppd, changes routes, and may update DNS configuration, the README documents the need for elevated privileges and warns administrators to restrict who can run it as root. The tool is used most often as a small terminal-oriented VPN connector: connect to a FortiGate endpoint, authenticate with password, OTP, smartcard, certificate, SAML, or an externally supplied cookie, then let pppd establish the tunnel and route traffic. ### Warum Paket-Nerds sich dafür interessieren openfortivpn is package-nerd interesting because it is infrastructure glue at the exact boundary where proprietary network appliances meet open Unix clients. Its value is less in a broad framework and more in being a small, maintained binary that distro maintainers can ship for a specific corporate VPN protocol. ### Zeitleiste - January 2015: the openfortivpn GitHub repository was created. - Version 1.12.0: the changelog records fixes for CVE-2020-7041, CVE-2020-7042, and CVE-2020-7043 around TLS certificate handling. - Version 1.23.0: SAML login authentication was added. - Version 1.24.0: OpenSSL 3 PKCS#11 support and OpenSSL engine support were updated. ### Related projects - openfortivpn is related to Fortinet FortiGate/FortiClient SSL VPN deployments, pppd, OpenSSL, resolvconf, OpenFortiGUI, and other open VPN clients such as OpenConnect, though its focus is Fortinet's PPP+TLS VPN behavior. ### Quellen - - - - - - ## Sicherheitshinweise broad file, network, media, or database tool signal. formula declares a Homebrew service. - **Geiger-Risiko:** orange / mittel - broad file, network, media, or database tool signal - formula declares a Homebrew service ## Configuration and credential file locations These source-backed paths show where this package keeps local settings or durable credentials.
