Unlike the old FortiClient where you would need to sign in and out, the Twingate ZTNA client will keep you connected, even when you power off your computer. Periodically, it will ask you to sign in again and work the same as in the above steps. This works well if you are on a spotty Internet connection, as it will automatically reconnect when the connection is restored
