How can I disable Fortiguard on my home network?

Hi sipos,

Fortiguard is package of protection features that run on a Fortigate router made by Foritnet.

It sounds like your Globalnet subscriptions includes the Fortigate which connects to the VDSL connection and includes Fortiguard services. That's good news- its likely you are very secure and protected from a whole raft of internet risks.

The bad news is that unless you have adminsitration rights on the Fortigate router you will not be able to turn those security features off.

You may be cable contact Globalnet and request they change the Fortigate policies- but I suspect they will be reluctant to do that for indiviudal users (its easier for them to maintain a policy set which works for all users).

I hope that helps a little.

Kind Regards,

If you have fortigate access you can try the following article, https://docs.fortinet.com/document/fortigate/6.2.16/cookbook/406127/filtering

I am also not sure if you are using web filtering in your firewall policy. In that case, you can also turn off that part also.
