Hi Firasbg,

Traffic flow is like:

<Host>-><internet>-><Fortigate>-><internal VM>

Try to configure VIP in the fortigate to forward SSH traffic from outside to internal VM.

    Hi Firasbg,

    Can you verify if SSH is open in your server. 
    From the Fortigate CLI:
    # exe telnet 192.168.37.2 22
