Solved

I have FortiClient 5.4.2.0860 on Windows 10 and it will not work when I try to use it through the Wifi at my local library (had this problem once before at a mall also).  When using the library's Wifi, Forticlient gets to 10 percent and then says "Unable to establish the vpn connection. The vpn server may be unreachable". I can establish a Forticlient connection through most other Wifi networks just fine (hotels, Starbucks, airports, etc).    My company's VPN server is set up to listen using port 10443.   I have tried disabling Windows 10 firewall and Windows Defender and it doesn't help. Could the library's network be blocking port 10443?   Thank you, Tom

Hello Everyone, I am wondering about Fortigate with NAC license vs FortiNAC for OT device discovery and if there is any comparison ?  I know that Fortinet OT Security Service for Fortigate is for OT attacks and that for OT device discovery FortiNAC that is connected on layer 2 with the OT environment is needed as to be able to see arp, dhcp, dns, etc. and other OT related information but what about Fortigate with NAC license connected with fortilink to Fortiswitches?  From what I have found as info FortiNAC has better Advanced with profiling, behavior analysis for OT devices compared to FortGate with NAC license. But Maybe I am wrong ? I also think you can't stream logs to FortiNAC from Fortigate as so the FortiNAC to not be layer 2 connected to the OT environment which is a limitation if the Fortigate is already layer 2 connected and thus the FortiNAC also needs layer 2 connection even if Fortigate is already layer 2 connected but I could b

While we've been running FortiManager for years, we finally took the time to setup it up to fully provision a firewall using Provisioning CLI Templates. We built around 17 individual CLI Templates that configure various sections of the config, and once we could fully provision a firewall running them one at a time, we grouped them up into a CLI Template Group and were so disappointed when it immediately failed.  It appears that regardless of how you arrange the individual scripts in the Group, when you execute the script, it doesn't execute them sequentially, it consolidates all of the configuration and pushes in whatever order it feels like. In our case, the very first config it tries to push has a dependency on an interface that hasn't been created yet. I opened a support ticket reporting the Provisioning CLI Templates are running out of order and asked how to fix it. The answer I got was to run some of the CLI Templates independent of the Template Group, to ensure the

Hi. About Fortinet FortiGate or any other products,1. After inputting License key (Activation), is there any way to remove that license?2. Is deregistration and deactivation of License the same thing?3. What are the steps to follow if I want to deregister or deactivate a license in FortiGate? After deregistration or deactivation, will the configuration of the FortiGate erase?

We are running Windows Server 2012 R2. We have installed the most recent FortiNet client (vpn only), version 5.2.0.0591. We have configured an SSL-VPN connection. When we click on the " connect" button, the status progresses all the way to 98% and then hangs. We have disabled the windows firewall, do not have any anti virus software installed, no group policies are being applied, and no other applications are running when we attempt to make the VPN connection. Thanks for helping!

Hi EveryoneWe have a Fortigate 80F currently configured with WAN1 only.There are many MIPs configured with this current Class C under Policy Objects -> IPv4 PolicyWe are migrating to a new ISP provider and have a new Class C.I am hoping to be able to configure this new ISP on WAN2 and create new MIPs  using the new Class C.Is this possible without bringing down the current WAN1?This is a production FW so causing a routing issue will be a disaster.The current WAN1 will be disconnected once the new WAN2 is tested successfully.Any help or direction is GREATLY appreciated!

Hello Everyone, Does FortiWeb ML Based Bot Protection need a javascript to be injected ? I am asking if it can be used for API traffic as well  Does FortiWeb ML Based Bot Protection need a javascript to be injected as from what I have read from FortiWeb Bot Protection: Machine Learning based Protection  it seems that the Biometric Based and Deception based Bot features would need this but I see no reason for ML/AI to need it. Outside of that I wonder if during DOS attacks normal urls start returning 5xx (Nginx returns 503 during DOS) or does not respond will this cause false positives as FortiWeb needs to be aware which urls were returing normal 2xx or 3xx responses and not to block the user with Bot protection?    

Hello team! I have a new question about FortiClient EMS.I need to authenticate FortiClient users with an active directory domain and with 2FASo far, I could add the active directory domain in my FortiCllient EMS, and I can use the domain users when I connect a FortiClient (Without 2FA)When I started to search into this, the first option I found, needed to have FortiAuthenticator, but we dont have FortiAuthenticator.The second option that I found, is using Fortigate with the security fabric option, but my fortigate is not in a security fabric, because we havent any FortiManager or FortiAnalyzerI did not found any other method.Is there a way to add 2FA to AD domain users just using FortiClient EMS and Fortigate? Thanks in advance.Regards,Damián

HelloIs there a FortiGuard IP address threat feed? Like C&C, Spam sources, etc, ...I know we can block bad IP addresses directly from IPS, DNS filter & Antispam profile, but is it available from Fortinet as URI to use as external source in IP address threat feed?

Hello, dears,I hope this message find you well. I am trying to rename a FortiAP Profile, which is not the default one.

hello, here is my problem. i have a vm that can switch off servers when there is a power outage, managing a ups. that vm can send ssh commands. it's easier to send exec shutdown instead scripting. if the firewall is master, no need to worry, failover will do its job. if the firewall is slave, no failover. so in order to easily switch off a firewall from a specif location, i need to need to connect to by its own IP address and not from the HA mgmt IP address. if i configure in band management ip address, the vm needs to be in the same vlan, and that is not possible. i can't add another network card. is there a solution for the vm to get a ssh connection to a specific firewall, i guess the solution can route the network flow. maybe out band management? i don't know. thank you  

I have configured a File Filter on a FortiGate 40F running FortiOS 7.6.3. The filter is applied to the LAN -> WAN policy and set to Both (two-way). However, the problem is that it only blocks files being uploaded from LAN to WAN, while downloads are not blocked.Additionally, the antivirus on the same policy correctly blocks infected downloaded files, so the issue doesn’t seem to be with the policy or antivirus itself. I don’t want to create a WAN -> LAN policy because I don’t want external users to have access to the LAN network.Also, I can’t find the PROXY feature in the configuration — it seems like it might have been removed or is unavailable in this version.Does anyone know if this is expected behavior for the file filter in FortiOS 7.6.3? Am I missing some configuration to actually make it work two-way? Any advice would be much appreciated.

 Hi Fortinet Community, I'm currently using FortiClient EMS 7.4 and FortiGate running FortiOS 7.4. When I try to access a server located in the DMZ using ZTNA access policies with ZTNA tags, I receive the following error:  Despite this, everything seems fine on the FortiGate side:The ZTNA tags are successfully synced from EMS.The relevant endpoint appears under the correct tag in the FortiGate.Running diagnostics shows that the endpoint is recognized and tagged appropriately."diagnose endpoint ec-shm list" command correctly shows the endpoint info.I can't identify where the issue is happening—whether it's on the client, EMS, or FortiGate. Has anyone encountered this issue or have suggestions on what else I should check? Appreciate any help or guidance from the community! Thanks.

We have experienced an issue with specific in-house built applications that worked when not behind our Fortigate 7.x firewall but started to fail when we placed behind it. Turns out the application does not send keep-alive or heartbeats and so the session-ttl kicks on the FortiGate and kills the application. We worked around it by creating a specific rule on the Fortigate to increase the TTL for that application but we are wondering if it is possible to log these events and send to the FortiAnalyzer so we have visibility of this condition going forward as we move more applications behind our firewall?
