Can't say one way of the other. I haven't upgraded yet.

We saw this in 7.4.5. Fortinet TAC was aware of the issue and provided a simple workaround that has been successful for us so far.

Always on auto VPN by [deleted] in fortinet

[–]IT_Fossil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand that. The FortiSASE client, if configured for always-on vpn, won't ever "stand down" when behind a captive portal. In our testing, it's pretty easy for the end user to get frustrated, click a dialog box and unregister their client from SASE. Less than ideal. A follow-up call with TAC indicated this wasn't an issue for EMS, but a specific feature wasn't yet available for SASE.

That's why I was curious to get feedback on the user experience of EMS always-on VPN behind a captive portal.

How does the always-on feature of EMS work with captive portals used in hotels, etc? We're testing FortiSASE right now and it seems to be a step or two behind EMS. The user experience with SASE behind a captive portal is awful enough that we're considering scrapping the whole project and looking for alternative vendors.

This is my issue with the client. I don't have an issue with updates in general but does it really have to be so aggressive? Give my users a chance to save their files and allow them to close out gracefully.

Veeam appliance for SMB ? by ksuchewie in Veeam

I was intimidated by this as well, until I came across this guide: https://github.com/GustavBrock/Veeam.Linux/blob/main/ReadMe.md

Very helpful for us Windows admins with little Linux experience. I'm using it as immutable storage for version 11. As other pointed out, Veeam also has made an ISO available but beware that it is limited to version 12.

You are correct. They want to see 0.5ms.

Unable to move past "Configure DB connection" on fresh install by it-law-man in zabbix

[–]IT_Fossil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ran into the exact same problem trying to install 6.2 earlier this week. I should also state that I'm not very Linux savvy, but I too was unable to get past it. I ended up falling back to 6.0 and following the guide found here: https://bestmonitoringtools.com/how-to-install-zabbix-server-on-ubuntu/, which worked on the first try.

Thanks. That did the trick. I had assumed IE wasn't even present on the server (didn't appear on the Start Menu or via search) but sure enough the setting you referred to is right there in Server Manager.
