Question

Blocking by the Tailscale application on Fortigate

Fortigate can block the Tailscale application with policy and application control; it will block both inbound Tailscale sessions and outbound Tailscale sessions. 

Is it possible to block only inbound Tailscale sessions, and still allow outbound Tailscale sessions on the firewall?

You simply do that:

  • In the inbound firewall policy you use an app ctrl profile that denies Tailscale
  • In the outbound firewall policy you use an app ctrl profile that allows Tailscale
