Hello @joh ,

 

You should review Forward Traffic logs. Because all traffic passing through the FortiGate is recorded here.

I stopped most of mine by blocking everything from out of the country from accessing my firewall IP address. I run a few websites so I don't want to block everything, but my sites are locality-centric so anyone not local wouldn't really be accessing them. But blocking China, Russia and a few of the other big hitters has almost eliminated this.
