Do you want to block those WiFi devices from accessing some destinations? Or want to block somebody from accessing the WiFi devices. In either case, you can control them by policies at the WiFi controller device (FortiGate or FortiWifi) you're using. If you want to block between WiFi devices on the same SSID, you can enable "Block Intra-SSID Traffic" in SSID config.

Hi Bakhtawar,

You might want to try and post this under a different category. It seems that you're having difficulty with the Forticlient application and not a FortiWifi appliance. Regardless, I'll take a stab at helping you if you'd like.

I went ahead and installed the Forticlient, turned on Web security, and successfully had it block several inappropriate websites without issue. I was able to get to Google.com just fine also.

According to your screenshot, it looks like everything should be working fine. Are the websites you are trying to block still coming through? Also, what kind of error are you getting when Google is failing to load? Is it a timed out error? An SSL/TLS error?

I'll keep my VM up that has the Forticlient installed for a bit if you want me to keep troubleshooting this with you.

Good luck,

Devin.

Hi Bakhtawar,

Are you using a FortiWifi device? You should be able to configure the web blocking without need to configure the Forticlient on those devices. You simply go to the Security Profiles, Web filtering, and create a new profile with the settings you want to apply. Next you apply this profile within the firewall policy that matches the traffic.

You can use Forticlient to register users/devices to the Fortigate for greater endpoint control and policy granularity. If you want see what kind of devices are connecting via wifi, you can turn on device discovery. You can even use device types in your firewall policies too to match traffic.

If you need more help or I was way off, let me know. Good luck!

Devin.

I think he meant Fortinet AP installed through FortiCloud. No FortiGate/FortiWifi as a controller.
