Block File Types

Hi

 

I have a requirement to block a range of file types, however quite a few of them aren't in the supported file type list in the file filter or for use with DLP filters.

 

For example, I need to block inf, jse, lnk, vbe, vbs extensions, but they are not in the supported list.  Is there any way I can block these file types?

 

Thanks

 

J

Thanks, I'll take a look at that, if it's possible to create custom file types then it should work.

What I've done is created a dlp filepattern to cover the file types that I need to block, then applied that to a dlp profile, which is then applied to the proxy policy.  It looks to be working as desired, will need to do more testing to confirm.  

 

I don't get a Fortigate DLP blocking page though, which I was expecting, but it is definitely blocking and logging the attempt.
