If you use the fortinet ssl client’s linux cli program, this script wraps on top of it, so that it incessantly runs the client after a tunnel is broken.
I run the fortinet ssl client in my virtual box ubuntu, in my Windows laptop. I generally close the lid/open the lid, to which windows-8 niclely responds by sleep’ing and waking up. However, the ssl client inside the virtual box dies and I have to manually fire it back. Also, sometimes the connection is flaky and the vpn gets disconnected. This script wraps the client and re-lauches it whenever it finds it down.
This coupled with mosh/tmux keeps an always-on connectivity to my linux-host in my vpn. The linux-host itself is another virtual box client in my office windows pc.
The following inputs needs to be setup
-
You windows domain name for the vpn login
-
You windows login name for the vpn login
-
Your local linux machine’s sudo password. The client needs to be run as root.
-
The absolute path to the forticlientsslvpn_cli program
-
The vpn-server hostname/ip/port.
The above information needs to be input in a credentials_vpn.py which is to be kept in the same directory as connect.py. A sample file is given in the repository which can be simply renamed from "credentials_vpn_sample.py" to "credentials_vpn.py"
Happy Working!
