macOS Ventura users who connect to WatchGuard Mobile VPN with SSL servers by IP address or who use a self-signed certificate receive a connection error and cannot connect. MacOS Ventura 13.0 and higher no longer accepts SSL connections to untrusted self-signed certificates. To install the Mobile VPN with SSL client on macOS, you must have administrator privileges. However, if you do not have administrator privileges, you cannot upgrade the client.
In Fireware v12.5.2 or lower, if the client automatically detects that an upgrade is available, a message appears that asks you to upgrade. This check box does not appear if a major version update is available.
If a minor version update is available, you can select the Don't show this message again check box. In Fireware v12.5.3 or higher, if the client automatically detects that an upgrade is available, but you do not have administrator privileges, a message appears that tells you to contact your system administrator for assistance.
The WatchGuard Mobile VPN with SSL client v11.10.4 or higher is a 64-bit application. You can use this icon to control the client software. The Mobile VPN with SSL client adds an icon to the system tray on the Windows operating system, or an icon in the menu bar on macOS. The Mobile VPN with SSL software enables users to connect, disconnect, gather more information about the connection, and to exit or quit the client.
