Here's a guide for setting up Forticlient VPN on HP ThinPro OS.

Steps:

1. Switch to administrator mode and open the terminal.
2. Unlock the filesystem by the following command:
   

   fsunlock{codeBox}

3. Remove "#" from debs inside "/etc/apt/sources.list" by vi text editor.
   

   sudo vi /etc/apt/sources.list {codeBox}

4. Update the distro libraries.
   

   sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade{codeBox}

5. Download the latest Forticlient VPN package from the official website using the wget command. As of now, the latest version is 7.2.2.0753:
   

   wget https://filestore.fortinet.com/forticlient/downloads/forticlient_vpn_7.2.2.0753_amd64.deb{codeBox}

6. Install the downloaded package.
   

   sudo dpkg -i forticlient_vpn_7.2.2.0753_amd64.deb{codeBox}

7. Then, install any required dependency packages.
   

   sudo apt -f install{codeBox}

8. Now, you can run Forticlient VPN by the following command:
   

   Forticlient gui{codeBox}

The first time you connect to a VPN, the keyring will prompt you to create a password. If you prefer not to be prompted every time, leave the password field empty and click OK.{alertInfo}

When running the application for the first time as root user, unlock settings and check the box labeled "Do not Warn Invalid Server Certificate." Without a valid certificate, you won't be able to connect to the VPN server without this option checked.

{alertInfo}

Forticlient VPN must not be running as root to connect successfully to a VPN server; it must be run as a different user.{alertWarning}
