openfortivpn: Connect to a VPN by specifying the host and port.
$ openfortivpn ${host}:${port}
try on your machine

The command "openfortivpn ${host}:${port}" is used to initiate a VPN (Virtual Private Network) connection using the openfortivpn command-line tool.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • "openfortivpn" is the name of the command-line tool being executed.
  • "${host}" is a placeholder for the VPN server's hostname or IP address. You need to replace this placeholder with the actual server address.
  • "${port}" is a placeholder for the port number on which the VPN server is running. You need to replace this placeholder with the correct port number.

By providing the VPN server's address and port, openfortivpn establishes a secure connection to the server. Once the connection is established, you may be prompted to enter your VPN credentials to authenticate and access the remote network through the VPN.
