Hi Matchelo

Why do you need to mask your FG pub IP address? Do you use it for FG management from WAN?

Hi @matchelo

 

Yes, you need a public domain name to resolve to the public IP of the FortiGate. It is possible to use FortiGuard DDNS: https://community.fortinet.com/t5/FortiGate/Technical-Tip-How-to-configure-Dynamic-DNS-Fortigate/ta-p/208780
