Stable VPN Client for MAC OS 13

Gokul — Thu, 15 Dec 2022 12:14:25 GMT

Hi,

Please help to find the stable latest VPN client version for MAC OS 13. I could not find any article on this. Also we have VPN gateways in different locations and they are fixed of R81.10 and R80.10. Will the VPN client version be different for these GAIA versions for MAC OS 13?

Thanks!

E86.80 and above support Ventura.

The E87.00 release is GA for the same.

E87 works, but I would NOT use it yet, as its not recommended. Please refer to my screenshot and you can see E86.50 is recommended one, so I would always stick with that : - )

Hope it helps.

Note Ventura is not supported prior to E86.80.

Hi Chris,

What is the difference between 'Endpoint Client EA' and 'Endpoint Client GA' . Also this E86.80 and E87 which one is recommended and these are supported by Gateway R81,10 and R80.40 ?

GA is greater than EA.

GA = Recommended for Ventura in this context.

Hi Chris,

and this VPN client is supported by Gateway R80.40 and R81.10? The reason I am asking this as we have upgraded some of our VPN firewalls to R81.10 and after that some of our MAC users are facing issue where VPN client gets connected but cannot access any resources. However, it is does not seem to be an issue with policy as windows machines are working fine with same polices.

Yes these versions are compatible, if the client was upgraded to Ventura and has a different client version than either of the two i've listed then you should address this first. If the problem persists please take it with TAC for investigation.
