If you rely on SSL VPN tunnel mode for remote access, take note—FortiOS 7.6.3 officially drops support for it. This change is part of Fortinet’s push to streamline and strengthen VPN features, focusing on more secure and scalable alternatives.
What’s changing?
- Tunnel mode is no longer supported. This applies to all FortiGate models running 7.6.3 and beyond.
- Users should migrate to Web Mode or consider full IPsec VPN setups for remote access needs.
- Fortinet recommends reviewing your current VPN configurations to avoid disruptions.
While it may be a shift in workflow for some teams, this move aligns with the broader goal of maintaining a high-security standard and reducing legacy dependencies.
