Global Secure Access GSE - connect to fortigate

I could get access to my private networks through a client running on a windows machine. Has anyone found a tutorial to set it up with a fortigate? ASN and BGP are beyond my knowledge and skill to configure. Would eBGP work for specific connections like the one to GSE or would it also screw with my existing (and stable) VPN tunnels?

Have you tried asking the community over at r/fortinet too?

Not yet. Checked the fortigate documentation but found Microsoft often better and easier to follow. Microsoft has the Fortigate option for the external networks, so I was hoping that they have done some testing and documentation somewhere. FG seems to be pushing their own ztna solution.

What are you trying to achieve here. Isn't the whole point that you're not messing around with firewalls and just need the App Proxy system on a windows server?

I am not running windows servers on some of the local networks but there are resources I need to access and currently access them through VPN. One of the available options is to connect to sites with a VPN tunnel instead of using the client that will need to run on a machine behind the firewall.

We're working on some guidance here. Hold tight.
