I have different 2 internet connection connected to my fortigate. Anyone know how we can build site to site VPN to azure with redundancy for my 2 internet line?
Hello guys. We have a couple of HTTP 1.1 web sites which sit behind our FortiWeb and we're having some issues with the chunked transfer encoding configuration. We're trying to follow the fortiweb troubleshooting guide instructions on the topicHow does Web Protection modules support Transfer.Encoding: chunked . According to the docs, we should set chunk encoding to enable and this should be enough for ensuring that buffering won't be used for those type of requests. Unfortunately, this isn't what we're seeing after enabling this setting. For starters, all the resources from the HTTP server are returned to the clients as chunked (even those that aren't being encoded into chunks by the http server), ie, fortiweb is transforming all http server responses into chunked transfers after enabling the previous setting (ex.: the http server will buffer js files before returning them and these requests are transformed into chunks which are then sent to the real client).&nb
Hello guys, Even though I'm still not sure on how FortiWeb supports chunked encoding, I'm hoping that someone can help me understand the faq's content on this topic, specificaly on the behavior form 7.0.2 onwards. The doc starts by saying the following: From 7.0.2, FortiWeb replaced set chunk decoding enable/disable with set chunk encoding disable/enable.The default configuration is disabled, which equals to set chunk decoding enable in 7.0.1; FortiWeb will decode chunked response and convert it with Content-Length.When configured as set chunk encoding enable on 7.0.2, FortiWeb decodes and reassembles the chunked response, performs the WAF modules’ operations, and encodes the new content with chunked again, then sends it to the clients. I understood it as saying that whenever FortiWeb detects a chunked encoded response from an HTTP 1.1 server, it will receive all the packets from the server, decode it and then apply all
Hello guys. Quick question: is there a way to completely bypass #Fortiweb (7.2.10) for specific URL request? For instance, suppose we have a web site with a config that looks something like this (this config inherits a default web protection profile which is shown at the end): edit "test" set server-pool some_pool set http-content-routing-id 11698441117558787025 config content-routing-match-list edit 1 set match-condition equal set match-expression site.something.org next end next Is there a way of saying that all the requests for a specific url (ex.: https://site.something.org/someuurl) should completely bypass the request and response validations performed by ###Fortiweb (Ie, for this URL, #Fortiweb should not apply any scans to the HTTP request and response and shouldn't also buffer the HTTP response before sendi
Hello guys. I'm trying to use an openapi doc to validate all the web api calls made to one of our web apps. I've already uploaded the openapi doc and set everything up. However, there's an issue: it seems like FWB can't handle array parameters passed through query string and it will always consider them a violation of the openapi docs. Here's a snippet of our openapi doc that is used for validation: openapi: 3.0.1 ... /api/pedidosassistencias/pesquisa: get: ... parameters: - name: estados in: query schema: type: array items: $ref: '#/components/schemas/EstadoPedido' description: Estados do pedido a filtrar ... `EstadoPedido` is an enum and the openapi doc does enforce those values (the ones passed on the next snippet are all valid). We've tried several different strategies in order to pass the array through the query string: // several parameters option 1 (
Hi all,I have a situation where there is a Wi-Fi network with 45-50 non-Fortinet APs, meaning the APs can't communicate with the Fortigate Wi-Fi Controller.On these APs, two SSIDs (with their respective VLANs) are defined: one for GUEST users and one for PREMIUM customers. What we want to achieveReplace the current gateway with something more robust, considering a Fortigate 121G.Enable a captive portal for the GUEST network that requires users to enter their email (email collection).Enable a captive portal for the PREMIUM network that requires authentication via username/password (using local users, FortiAuthenticator, or a RADIUS server)Questions:From the manuals, I saw that the type of captive portal must be defined in the SSID settings under "WiFi & Switch Controller."I read that it's possible to choose between Authentication, Email Collection, and other options.The issue is that we do not have Fortinet APs, so we cannot configure the SSIDs in this section.Is there a way to
Hello everyone!As part of our network infrastructure, we currently have a HEADQUARTER "A," which houses a datacenter with servers and services accessed from all our LANs (both in branch offices and headquarters).We are considering establishing a second HEADQUARTER ("B"), which will contain a mirrored datacenter to that of HQ "A."Considerations:Both HQs have Fortigate edge firewalls:HQ "A": Fortigate 600EHQ "B": Fortigate 900GBoth HQs and BOs are connected to a common MPLS service and have internet access through one or more ISPs.There is a dedicated fiber optic connection currently in use between HQ "A" and HQ "B."The objective is to ensure that, if the datacenter at HQ "A" becomes unavailable due to a technical issue (e.g., failure of HQ "A"'s firewall), the rest of the LANs can continue consuming services through HQ "B" until HQ "A"’s firewall is restored and resumes its primary role.Therefore, we would like to ask for your guidance on which Fortigate features and functions we can ut
Hello,i have a FW policy rule that allow traffic flow based on address object with type FQDNmatch based on FQDN "*.taobao.com"-when i start browsing main page is opening normally-when i start clicking on random sections , some of them is re-directed to alibaba CDN *.alicdn.com which is not included in FW policy address -so i added *.alicdn.com also to address group to be matched-blockage reduced significantly but still see some traffic not matched by the FW policy , and web site performance become very slow-up on checking found that FQDN address is not populated with all DNS queries customer doexample if opened item.taobao.com , will be dropped , i have to manually do Nslookup inside windows CMD , then IP will be populated inside Fortigate , then customer will be able to browse it-Note there is no proxy server used -if IP of subdomain is not included here , traffic destined will be droppeddiagnose test application dnsproxy 6vfid=1 name=*.taobao.com ver=IPv4 wait_list=0 timer=
I realize the following is a not so great idea but would like to know if this is even possible since management may require it.Is it possible to give all users with a valid AD account permissions to create pre-provisioned guest wireless accounts in FortiNAC? Based on the following snippet from the FNAC admin guide, I can't use the AD Domain Users group: "The domain users group cannot be used to set administrator privileges because user details for users in that group are not populated in FortiNAC when a directory synchronization is done." So, before I ask our AD admin to create a new group named something other than Domain Users and add all user accounts to it, I'm posting to see if this is even possible.
 Hi, we have two remote users accessing via mobile hotspot, and they encounter this problem: when the FortiClient establishes a connection, they lose their internet access. If they press diconnect the VPN, the internet returns.Be aware that when they are linked to the VPN, their internet symbol changes to this ( screenshot1) and when they disconnect it goes back to their hotspot symbol.( screenshot2)screenshot 2  screenshot 1 
Hi community I have Fortinet firewall 60F and want to attach 2 fortiswithes (48 ports each) as a failed backup. If switch A goes down then Switch B picks up. Any Idea how to make it happen ? thank you.
Hi everyone,I'm having a problem when I'm trying to access my Forti web interface through my network. It's accessible when I'm connected localy and the gear under it can be pinged and accessible through the network. My managment interface is situated in a VLAN reserved for every managment access in my network. Also I have two forti101E in HA mode active/passive, and therefore only one address for my mgmt interface. The ping, http and https are activated in my configuration. If you need any other info for troubleshooting, please feel free to ask me.Thanks in advance for your answers
Hi,As a replacement for SSL VPN for remote users, we have implemented IP SEC dialup.Users connect with forticlient. Everything works fine.However, I would like to be able to force the disconnection of sessions after a set time (i.e. 12 hours), even if traffic is generated.I have not been able to test any functional solutions.Do you have any idea how to do this?
good to all,I find myself in this situation: The goal is to allow the management of the FortiSwitch directly from the GUI of the FortiGate 91G located on site, even if the firewall and the switch are not directly connected via the FortiLink port. However, as shown in the diagram, there is an IPsec VPN tunnel.As per the attached diagram, the configuration already presents the IPSec VPN tunnls with related policies and static routes.
Hello,I used two fortigate 200E, i have an issue with the vpn.I'm on the IT team,I can connect the site with the vpn client (forticlient 7.0.3.0193) but only the files of our serveur file.No ping is working through the VPN or RDP or anything else except the file of the server file.I have an administrator acces on the VPN and i allow everything but it isn't workingHere is the configuration of the vpn.I made a user group "G-SSL-ADMIN" with the users allowedScreen 1On SSL-VPN Portals i made a full access groupScreen 2SSL-VPN Personal Bookmarks.

Is there a way to keep a active VPN connection on a FG52E permanent alive even when there is no traffic?
Our FG120G started alerting to ISC.BIND.Multiple.Options.Processing.DoS blocked DNS traffic this morning, just occasionally (let's say 10 alerts in 10 hours), all from different Windows laptop clients talking to our DNS servers at the datacentre.I don't have any particular insight as to why this might have started. Perhaps a false positive. Perhaps Fortinet updated signatures. Perhaps Windows patches changed something.Just wondering if anyone else is noticing this issue. Hoping it isn't just me ...
We have recently had a 400F installed with three DIA lines. We have been set up with an SD-WAN configuration where traffic is spread over all 3 lines. This seemed to work great and the lines were balanced but we started to notice that certain websites would drop out, logging people off and applications such as Outlook would loose connectivity.We have narrowed it down to the fact that session traffic which starts on port 1 can then jump to port 2 or 3 changing our outbound IP and thus breaking any session the user had with the website they were visiting. We would ideally like to keep the round-robin approach where data is spread over the 3 lines automatically but we're not sure how best to configure the gate so traffic gets around this issue. Some research is pointing towards having the SD-WAN set up so that all traffic goes to port 1 and then to port 2 on a failure but is there a way to have traffic move to port 2 after a certain utilisation is reached
Hi !I am experiencing speed issues with SSL VPNs. I can't exceed 20MB/s on gigabit lines during SMB transfers. I've run some not-so-great iperf3 tests about 25MB/s (200Mbits/s).I have tested from several sites towards to several sites. Still the same. It doesn't matter the model of Fortinet (200, 60F, 80F).I(ve tried with enabling DTLS on Fortinet and in Forticlient (https://community.fortinet.com/t5/FortiGate/Technical-Tip-Using-DTLS-to-improve-SSL-VPN-performance/ta-p/193881). It remains the same. Any idea ?
Hi all, completely new into FortiEMS or in generell into Fortinet.Right now we are running on FortiEMS Cloud 7.2.5.1061 and would like to upgrade to the newest version. Found this article:https://community.fortinet.com/t5/FortiClient/Technical-Tip-How-to-upgrade-the-firmware-of-EMS-cloud/ta-p/216177 Unfortunately there are no informations about what time (only day) this will happen or something about how long this will take (will there be any downtime?). Thanks, regardsMarc

hi,been trying to google search the "F" series platform/model (i.e. 40F, 101F) but got limited info/data sheets.just would like to ask:1.why is it called "F"? is it just an upgrade/iteration from previous "E" series2.is "F" series only got an upgraded ASIC/chip, i.e. SOC and CP and added number of CPUs?3.is item 2 above the only "selling" point of the "F" series?4.any other "unique" feature/distinction for the "F" series platform?
Hi,I'm trying to configure our Fortigate v7.4 to provide dialup IPSec VPN to FortiClient on Windows. The VPN works fine with user certificate but if I want to use computer certificate instead, or enable VPN before login, the VPN failed. I tried to give user access to the certificate key of the machine certificate without success. Any advices are much appreciated.
