Hello,
My employer had the good idea of setting up shared directories at the company’s head office, on a NAS (Zyxel brand, apparently).
I have all the credentials for connecting to the VPN (SSL_VPN), then those for mounting the shared directory.
My problem is that I don’t use Windows on my post (well, I do, but in dual boot), but I’d like to be able to do everything from Mint, without having to go through Windows.
I’ve tried installing the network-manager-fortisslvpn package, but it doesn’t work. All I have is a login and password, and the server address is IP:4443.
No certificate has been provided, under windows (installing SSL_VPN_Client_4.0.4.0) on connection there’s an error message and you realize that on the server side it’s a self-signed certificate… (LOL?)
Any idea how I can connect? No leads on the Zyxel forum, there’s no linux support anyway.
Any ideas?
I know this is not exactly what you’re looking for, but I found for a Fortinet ssl vpn connection.

It might work for you? Doesn’t hurt to try…
EDIT: Another thing you can try is the official OpenVPN client for linux…

The problem is that I don’t have a trusted certificate. So I can’t use the first solution (which I’ve already tried, by the way).
For the second solution, which I’ve also tried, I still have the problem of entering a certificate that I don’t have. I’ve tried retrieving the self-signed certificate with Firefox, but the connection ends with a timeout…
Anyway, thanks for trying to help.

I got the certificat using firefox (export certificat), but it doesn’t works. Always a timeout :/
Rats… Sorry mate.
We’ll have to wait for someone smarter than me to come and solve this.
