    Hello,
    I am running 3 virtual machines inside Parallels - 2 of them with Windows 11 and one with macOS 13.
    Inside the Windows machines I am able to connect to a Forticlient VPN. But when using the same settings (server name, port, username, password) it says that I cannot connect to VPN. I have tried to explore the logs, but nothing interesting that I can find there, this is maybe the most relevant log:

    The SSL error is normal I believe, the VPN server is using self-signed certificate. The VPN GUI also warned me about that and I clicked "Continue".

    This is FortiClient 7 and all it's applications (fmon, fctl, ...) I have granted them Full Disk Access permissions.
