Fortisslvpn in ubuntu 21.04 (and some earlier versions) does not peer dns correctly since a fortivpn update changed a default parameter. The ubuntu package has not been patched in 2+ years.

The best way to fix this so far, is to manually build a patched .deb to install. These instructions are crude and may be missing dependencies.

@todo - It would be better to alter the package version info so it is newer than that provided by apt repos to avoid needing to hold the package back

1. Modify /etc/apt/sources.list, uncommenting the line deb-src http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hirsute universe or equivalent
2. sudo apt-get update
3. Make and change to a temporary directory. mkdir -p /tmp/fortisslvpn && cd /tmp/fortisslvpn
