Hello,

 

I'm newbie here. I need some technical advise from you all. Our company is based in Singapore and just implemented SSL VPN using fortigate 90D. Our goal is to access google drive and some trade markets websites when my users were in china. As you guys know china got blocked a lot of websites. Today i have tested google drives can access once ssl vpn is connected back to Singapore but other websites is still not able to access (for example- bloomberg, facebook and others. Is there anyway to by pass china firewall to unblock all those websites? Really appreciate your advise. Thanks you. Have a nice day. :)

    On windows machines, you test DNS with "nslookup somesite.com" (DOS box). Test if you can get an answer for sites that you cannot surf to.

    You could check if DNS if filtered. If your clients tunnel everything across the SSL VPN (including DNS) they should be able to reach any site.

    Hello,

    It seems you are using split tunneling.

    You can force all traffic from the endpoint to come throug the ssl vpn to your unit and then go to the internet, in that case, you will manage the access, bypassing any country rules.
