Hi Everyone,

 

Currently we have created 2 profiles on FortiClient EMS

1) OnNet Profile: when connected to VPN allow the users to access the internet.

2) OffNet Profile: When not connected to EMS the users are not allowed to connect anywhere.

 

But, In OffNet profile, under web filter, I created a exclusion list like YouTube for testing. It doesn't work. 

Even created allow list for YouTube under application firewall, still the same.

 

FortiClient 

Admin Guide says enable fortiproxy under system settings for web filter to work. But there is not option called fortiproxy at all.

 

Kindly, help me out in this. Am I mission something?

 

Thank you

Thank you Mohit,

 

It was already enabled when I checked.

 

We want the users to access only a certain number of sites when the device is offline. But, the web filter doesn't work in Off Fabric (OffNet) profile.
