Hello Guys

 

I am trying to ping and telnet from my computer which is behind a firewall, but i am failing. I can ping and telnet from the firewall and from outside because i have services from outside my network that accesses my servers.

How do i make sure that my servers and computers can telnet to outside? this i need because i troubleshoot networks from my support laptop and its kinda tedious to always be logging in the Fortigate to troubleshoot.

 

Please help.

    You need to have a policy allowing ping&telnet from the interface your pinging/telneting source to the interface your servers are connected.
