Yo,

 

I have my ForticlientEMS up n runnin - all good. But yesterday I added a Macbook, and it wont behave.

 

I see in my EMS that the Macbook gets the profiles, its managed.. it looks just like any other Windows client. I check with the user, and again - looks fine. He has the VPN setup I pushed, and its working. He has both webfilet and application fw..all the stuff. But when I have my user try surfing some porn - just to verify that the webfilter is working. Well... it's not :) 

 

The Forticlient installed on the users macbook looks fine - it do show me filters are applied.. but it just dont take effect ? Im guessing that it is some basic stuff Im missing out on ? ? Any tips ?

    In the EMS profile that's applied to the Mac, goto System and make sure FortiProxy is enabled. The FC filtering does work as we use it here.....
