    what do you mean with open RDP?

     

    you want to access the FortiGate with RDP? you want to access a system behind the FortiGate with RDP? you want to access outside the FortiGate with RDP?

    There is fortigate and after that fortigate is PC where windows 10 installed, so i want to access that PC from outside, so i want to open RDP on fortigate to have access on PC from different place.

    you create a virtual IP, which a public IP address on the external side and the IP address of the Windows 10 on the internal side.

     

    use that virtual IP in a firewall policy from external to internal.

     

    you probably only want to allow RDP traffic on the firewall policy

     

    this is assuming that you have a public IP address on the FortiGate. if you haven't that you will have to do the forward on the ISP modem / router towards the FortiGate and then use the virtual IP
