    Here are some questions for you: 1. Have you checked your FortiClient Web Filtering profile? By any chance in your profile that the following subcategory is blocked? Potentially No-Productive -> Games 2. If not, is your client connected to a FortiGate? If so, it most likely a Web Filtering profile is enabled there so firewall can block all Games sites. If your client is managed by FortiManager, then your Web Filtering profile can be managed by FortiManager as well.

    I tried the adult profile with the filters you suggested on the latest FortiClient 4.2.3.271 and it worked fine for me. I was able to go to http://www.joymax.com/silkroad/ -- I am assuming you are accessing this site? Could you post the URLs of the game sites that you were blocked here so I can try it out? Did you get Page Blocked by FortiClientâ„¢? Can you also post the message that is displayed on the page? Which version of FortiClient that you are using?
