The FortiClient VPN Control is a launchAgent helper component of Fortinet's FortiClient VPN application, which provides remote secure access to corporate and institutional networks via SSL-VPN and IPsec protocols. FortiClient is used by enterprise employees, administrators and remote workers to maintain encrypted tunnel connections to FortiGate firewalls and VPN gateways. The VPN Control component manages the background tunnel lifecycle, authentication state, and system extension integration required for seamless VPN connectivity on macOS. A native Apple Silicon build has been confirmed running on Macs in the Rosetta Check community.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionThe FortiClient VPN Control helper is a sub-component of the main FortiClient application, so it cannot be updated separately. To get the native Apple Silicon version of the entire FortiClient suite, you need to update the host FortiClient application itself. Download the latest version from Fortinet's official support portal or use your organization's FortiClient distribution mechanism. FortiClient version 7.0 and later ship with native Apple Silicon (Universal Binary) support, so as long as you download the current installer, you will automatically receive the native build. If you downloaded FortiClient previously, re-download the latest version from fortinet.com/support/product-downloads to ensure you have the Universal Binary, then run the installer and follow the standard installation prompts. After installation, the VPN Control helper will be updated to the native version automatically when the parent FortiClient application is updated.
