Hello i have the following Problem 
Currently I am using a test license for Fortigate VM with the Following setup in VMWare Workstation:
Fortigate VM with 2 configured Network Adapters:
Port1: NAT (192.168.204.129  GW:192.168.204.2)
Port2:Host Only(192.168.109.128)

And a Windows VM with following adapter:
Host Only(192.168.109.130)

I configured Port 1 to reach the internet and set a default route to the gateway
With the Firewall i can ping 8.8.8.8 for example

My windows Machine has the following Configuration:
IP: 192.168.109.130
GW: 192.168.109.128

I have firewall rules that allow all traffic between LAN-WAN. Can somebody help me what i am doing wrong. I watche a youtube video and followed every step, but I just cant get it to work

Hello,

 

Thank you for your question. If your traffic is reaching FortiGate, then verify if NAT is enabled on firewall policy. If it is, then use debug flow to see what is happening:

This should give you more information what is happening if traffic is reaching fortigate and if it is being denied, blocked or allowed .
