Web mode requires nothing more than a web browser. Microsoft Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, and Apple Safari browsers are supported. For detailed information about supported browsers see the Release Notes for your FortiOS firmware.

Tunnel mode establishes a connection to the remote protected network that any application can use. This requires FortiClient SSL VPN application that sends and receives data through the SSL VPN tunnel.

The virtual desktop application creates a virtual desktop on a user's PC and monitors the data read/write activity of the web browser running inside the virtual desktop. When the application starts, it presents a ‘virtual desktop’ to the user. The user starts the web browser from within the virtual desktop and connects to the SSL VPN web portal. The browser file/directory operation is redirected to a new location, and the data is encrypted before it is written to the local disk. When the virtual desktop application exits normally, all the data written to the disk is removed. If the session terminates abnormally (power loss, system failure), the data left behind is encrypted and unusable to the user. The next time you start the virtual desktop, the encrypted data is removed.
