Hello,

The typical executable name for the BIG-IP Edge Client is f5fpc.exe, which is the main file to allow through your local firewall for proper connectivity to the Certificate Revocation List (CRL) server. To configure the Windows Firewall for this purpose, whitelist f5fpc.exe and any other related processes. If you don't have access to the client installation, this information provides a good starting point for setting up the necessary firewall rules.

To confirm the exact executable:

  • If you can access another machine with the BIG-IP Edge Client installed, navigate to its installation directory, usually under:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\F5 VPN\ or C:\Program Files\F5 Networks\
