It would be cleanest to remove the IPsec config if you plan not to use it. A local-in policy is the way to narrow down the source by address, range or country if you need the IPsec VPN.

As best practice, move the SSLVPN port to a higher number, e.g. 30443. Would be more difficult to hit without extensive port scanning. Only drawback: some hotel could be overprotective and not allow high ports/non-standard ports.

You can configure a local in policy from CLI and block port 4500 and port 500 to the fortigate.

config firewall local-in-policy

Hi,

You can disable it or can set some specific Public IP to allow access to the VPN. This can archive from policy configuration.
