Hello everyone, I' m new here so i apologize if i' m posting in wrong section. We have a Fortigate 80C firewall and we have web filtering enabled. I need to allow one user with a reserved ip say (192.168.1.4) to be able to access internet without any web filtering restrictions. Thanks in advance.

    Hi Ainuddin. Welcome to the forums. The FortiGate Cookbook provides detailed working examples of common tasks on the Fortigate, including this one (see the section " Excluding selected users from UTM filtering" , p 189 for 5.0, p 193 for 4.0 MR3). Basically, you create a firewall object for the computer in question (192.168.1.4/255.255.255.255) and use that as the source address in your firewall policy that excludes webfilter; enable any other UTM feature you wish. Move this fw policy up in the firewall chain so it is triggered.
