Description
This article describes that if the firewall policy is set to flow-mode inspection, it will not be possible to apply a web filter or an antivirus profile to it. This is because both Antivirus and web filter by default will be created with the Feature-set in Proxy.
Scope
FortiGate.
Solution
The profile will not be visible in the drop-down menu in those cases.
Go to Security Profiles -> Web Filter, select the profile and next to 'Feature set', select 'Flow-based' and then select 'OK'.
Or go to 'Security Profiles ' -> 'Anti-Virus', select the profile and choose 'Flow-Based' from option Feature set.
Go back to the ' Policy & Object ' -> ' Firewall policy ' and edit policy to select the profile 'test' web filter and Anti-virus from above examples.
