Pros / Cons
- I like most about FortiClient are its reliable VPN capabilities that enable secure remote access to corporate networks, seamless integration with FortiGate firewalls by providing a comprehensive security solution and its ease of use with intuitive UI.
- it is breaking my docker images that requires connection, it is blocking some important ports, so when you have to be connected to download new data from you company and then you need to disconnect to run the app, it is really annoying
