Question

hello guys,

I am new to Fortinet, my device model is FortiGate 200d, i want to set web filtering only on traffic bound for the Internet and not local traffic. I have configured 4 different ports for each VLAN, but I notice that traffic shaping affects local traffic making more difficult for  ERP users to work. Any idea on how i may achieve this?

    Hello Obie,

     

    If you have policies from LAN-WAN and LAN-LAN, you can put the Web Filter on only policies from LAN-WAN. This way, the Web Filter will not be active on local traffic.  >>I have configured 4 different ports for each VLAN, but I notice that traffic shaping affects local traffic making more difficult for  ERP users to work.

     

    Unless you enabled traffic shaping on the local traffic policies, it should not be doing it.
