Hello Good day.

Does anyone knows or have any idea on how to connect the NAV Client using VPN?

currently we're using FORTiClient

Thanks :)

    Like normal.
    The program doesn’t know anything about network. Just point it at the server!

    Maybe a DNS problem.
    Try using IP instead

    Which IP? I tried using the Private IP and i got the same error. but never tried the Public IP. do I need to forward the port also ?

    No forwarding needed when going through VPN.

    Can you ping/connect to the NAV server by internal ip or hostname?
    This i proberbly not a NAV issue, but rather network.

    @Juhl yes, it can ping/connect by internal IP or Hostname. but when im using VPN it can still ping the IP of the server. but when I want to connect the nav client, it can't login. See screenshot below for reference4jd3fdyqppre.jpg

    If only ip is working on vpn, then use that instead. The error is with hostname.

    Hmm.
    Have you tried putting the hostname in the host fil on the OS, so that hostname works?

    I do this all the time without any issues.
    Is the computer part of the domain if using windows auth?

    what do you mean by host file? is this the ClientUserSettings.config ?

    yes, the computer is part of the domain and using the windows auth.

    hosts
    then put in ip and hostname in one line.

    Works like a local DNS and overrides DNS
