FortiClient is Fortinet's unified security client for macOS that provides VPN connectivity, endpoint protection, and network access control. The application includes a daemon service (fctctl) that manages VPN connections, network monitoring, and security policy enforcement in the background. FortiClient is widely used by enterprises and remote workers to establish secure VPN tunnels to corporate networks and enforce compliance policies on client machines. A native Apple Silicon build has been confirmed running on Macs in the Rosetta Check community.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionThe FortiClient VPN daemon is a system component of the FortiClient application and is not updated separately. To ensure you have the native Apple Silicon build of FortiClient and all its components including the VPN daemon, download and install the latest version of FortiClient from Fortinet's official website or your organization's software distribution portal. Fortinet ships native Apple Silicon builds of FortiClient, so installing the latest version from fortinet.com or your enterprise software catalog will automatically replace the Intel daemon with its native equivalent. If FortiClient is already installed and you have auto-update enabled, ensure the application is allowed to update to the latest available version — this will bring both the main application and the daemon service to native Apple Silicon builds. After updating, the VPN daemon will function natively without any manual reconfiguration required.
