Solution

In some cases, the Web Filter feature is configured and enabled in the EMS policy, but FortiClient still shows as disabled:

In this scenario, it is necessary to edit the 'System Settings' profile of that policy in XML and look for the <fortiproxy> tag, then change 'enabled' from 0 to 1.

 

<fortiproxy>
    <enabled>1</enabled>
</fortiproxy>
