Apple IOS

• Available in the app store. Titled Forticlient. I recommend just using the built in ipsec feature of IOS but the SSLvpn forticlient option does work well also. The settings are the same as explained above.
  
  

Android

• Available here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fortinet.forticlient_vpn&hl=en or search for fortinet in the google play store.
