Hi, We are using Fortigate 200A with version 4.0 (MR2 Patch 2) and active fortiguard license.

Is it possible to configure web filtering (restrict the torrents, streaming contents) based on time period, like

block between 6 AM to 6 PM

allow between 6 PM to 6 AM next day

 

If its possible, how to configure ?

Can any one of you help me here.

 

Thanks in-advance.

    Policies can be enabled temporarily by using a schedule. If you have 2 policies with complementary schedules only one of both will be active at any time.

    For example, create 2 schedules "on-hours" from 6am to 6pm, and "off-hours" from 6pm to 6am. Create 2 policies 'internal' to 'wan' with the only difference being the schedule used, and the webfilter setting.
