openfortivpn connection progress stops after "Connected to gateway"

Trying to connect SSL VPN at work from Linux (Mint) machine. Works OK from Windows 10 using embedded client. On Mint I'm trying to use openfortivpn (used different versions: 1.6.1 and 1.14.1 on Mint 19.3 and 1.12.1 on Mint 20.1)

>> openfortivpn host.name:443 --username=user --insecure-ssl -v
DEBUG:  openfortivpn 1.14.1
DEBUG:  revision unavailable
DEBUG:  Loaded config file "/etc/openfortivpn/config".

DEBUG:  gateway_port: 443
DEBUG:  Setting minimum protocol version to: 0x303.
DEBUG:  Gateway certificate validation succeeded.
INFO:   Connected to gateway.

And here it stops. No further progress. PPP interface does not appear in the system. /etc/openfortivpn/config is empty. Is there a way to continue and finalize a connection?

Below is an information from nmap about server protocols:

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
