Fortigate 7.4.5 not blocking incoming management access attempts

create  local in policy : https://docs.fortinet.com/document/fortigate/7.6.0/administration-guide/363127/local-in-policy

Thanks, I will check that out. Why does the firewall policy not block that incoming traffic?

It is important to know the difference between a firewall policy and a local-in policy. While firewall  policies control traffic flowing through the FortiGate, local-in policies control inbound traffic that is going to a FortiGate interface.

Thanks again. This is a different way of doing things than other firewalls that I am familiar with.

Back to the matter at hand. Since we're using Fortigate OS 7.4.5 I have to use the CLI to add this policy. Problem is that it doesn't take the policy. I don't get any errors but when I go to list the policies either through the CLI or the web interface, the new policy isn't there. What am I missing?
I created geographical regions in the addresses area for China, India, and Russia.

config firewall local-in-policy
edit 11
set intf any
set srcaddr China India Russia
set dstaddr all
set service ALL
set schedule always
set action deny

next
end

EDIT: Ok I take that back sort of. The GUI still does not show the new policy but when input the proper command in the CLI I see the new policy. However the CLI ONLY shows the new policy, and none of the ones that the GUI shows.

EDIT2: It's definitely working as now there's a ton of traffic from those locations that's being denied according to the logs.

on earlier versions, we can only see local in policy from the CLI.

The GUI support for local-in policy is supported on 7.6.0 firmware version
