Hello,
I also have a problem with connection to VPN server. A week ago everything was OK and yestarday I tried to connect via Forticlient and I recive a notice:
"Unable to establish the VPN connection. The VPN server may be unreachable. (-5)"
VPN server is OK
My OS is Windows Vista Home Premium
Forticlient ver. 5.2.5.0658
I tried to uninstall and install again Forticlient but it didn't help.
What I should check? And how to solve this problem?
You really shouldn't add onto a two year old thread. The solution will be totally different, I would imagine.

See my Fortigate related scripts at: http://fortigate.camerabob.com
It could b any of the following;
wrong port
local filterting
wrong ipv4 address
sslvpnd has stop
missing fw-policies
etc...
If you have access to the fortigate cli , diag sniffer packet <name of wan interface > "host x.x.x.x" where x.x.x.x is the window client that your expecting to see.
Based on the findings or lack of findings, you will proceed to the above listed items.

- Port is OK. There is a dedicated 8443 port for this connection.
- Local filtering? I don't know what you mean.
- IP address is OK, beacuse I have another computer (little netbook) and from this netbook I can connect to this VPN server using port 8443 and IP 80.48.233.220. Something has happend on my basic notebook.
- sslvpnd has stop - ???
I don't know how to check it. But in the Forticlient log I have found this notice:
"2016-02-06 21:00:13 Error VPN id=96603 msg="SSLVPN tunnel connection failed (Error=-5)." remotegw=80.48.233.220 vpnstate=connected vpntunnel=VECTOR vpntype=ssl vpnuser=JacekC"
Maybe it will help to analize this problem.
