FortiClient is Fortinet's endpoint security and VPN client for macOS, used by enterprises and individual users to establish secure remote access to corporate networks via SSL-VPN, IPsec-VPN, and Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) authentication. It provides real-time threat protection, endpoint detection and response capabilities, web filtering, and application control. FortiClient runs as both a standalone application and a system launchAgent that handles background VPN connectivity, tunnel management, and security policy enforcement. A native Apple Silicon build has been confirmed running on Macs in the Rosetta Check community.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionFortiClient has shipped with native Apple Silicon support since version 7.0 and recent builds are fully Universal Binary compatible. To upgrade the launchAgent component (and the entire FortiClient installation) to the native build, download and run the latest macOS installer from Fortinet's official product download page at fortinet.com/support/product-downloads. The installer will automatically detect your M-series Mac and serve the Universal Binary version. Simply download the macOS FortiClient package, execute the installer, and follow the on-screen prompts to complete the installation — your existing VPN profiles and configuration will carry over. If you previously installed FortiClient from Fortinet's direct download, using the same download page will pull the current native build. No separate component update is required; updating the main FortiClient application automatically refreshes the embedded launchAgent to its native version.
