Question

Access Denied - cant load the administrative access via LAN, WAN works fine.

Hi everyone, I'm kinda new with FortiGate, I set up a Forti 60D for my home network.

when I first set it up I accessed the administrative access via the LAN(of course), after I was done with all the setup with the policy to access the internet and the basic stuff I could not access the administrative access page (via the same PC I used to configure everything). Now, if I put the public IP in it does let me get to the administrative access. on the LAN interface, I checked HTTPS, HTTP for administrative access, yet it is still now working... I'd be happy for guidance with this issue. thanks to you all.

    Welcome to the forums.

     

    The only thing that comes to mind for me is if you entered any trusted hosts. Once you do that, all other hosts will be blocked. If you allowed the outside IP, then the inside will not have access. The best case (most of us do here) would be to configure SSL VPN and manage your firewall from the inside.
