Hi Alex_Aleks,

Kindly confirm whether the HTTP URL http://digitaltwin-datadev-ds1.com/ is publicly accessible over the internet or hosted internally.

You can create a basic firewall policy without attaching any security profiles and set SSL inspection to 'no-inspection'. In this configuration, the firewall will simply allow traffic to pass through. After applying this policy, check if you're able to access the URL

https://community.fortinet.com/t5/FortiGate/Technical-Tip-Best-practices-for-firewall-policy-configuration/ta-p/193255

Please confirm whether the URL resolves to the IP address 138.199.132.66.


If the issue still persist, collect the sniffer packet and debug logs and attach

CLI1:

diagnose sniffer packet any "host y.y.y.y and port 80" 6 0 l -------------- where y.y.y.y is the destination IP address


CLI2:

diagnose debug reset
diagnose debug console timestamp enable
diagnose debug flow filter addr < destination - IP >
diagnose debug flow filter dport 80
diagnose debug flow trace start 1000
diagnose debug flow show function-name enable
diagnose debug enable


Regards!

Hi @Alex_Aleks ,

 

You can exempt the url in the webfilter by using static url

https://community.fortinet.com/t5/FortiGate/Technical-Tip-Using-a-static-URL-filter-feature-to-allow-block/ta-p/193086

 

Another way is to create a policy and keep it on top and create fqdn address and put the url address as the destination address

First of all, this URL is categorized as "Newly Observed Domain" at FortiGuard webfilter lookup.
https://www.fortiguard.com/webfilter

Do you happen to use Web category filters? If so, try allowing (exempt) "Unrated" category.
