[kcheng]

Description	This article describes the issue where Explicit Proxy cannot be enabled starting FortiOS 7.4.4.
Scope	FortiGate v7.4.4 and above. Affected FortiGate models: FortiGate/FortiWiFi-30G, 40F, 50G, 60E, 60F, 61F, 80E, and 90E series of devices and their variants, and FortiGate-Rugged 50G and 60F.
Solution	In older builds, the explicit proxy feature can be enabled on FortiGate 2GB models after enabling the following commands: config system global    set proxy-and-explicit-proxy enable end config system settings    set gui-proxy-inspection enable end Starting from v7.4.4, proxy-related features have been removed from 2GB models: 2 GB RAM FortiGate models no longer support FortiOS proxy-related features Proxy-related features not supported on FortiGate 2 GB RAM models NEW Hence, the option to enable proxy-and-explicit-proxy has been removed: Due to the respective, it would not be possible to enable the feature in the GUI despite the option showing up in Feature Visibility: If the explicit proxy is required, consider upgrading the FortiGate model with 4GB memory or above. Note: This solution is only applicable when the FortiGate NGFW is operating in Profile-Based mode. It does not apply to Policy-Based mode configurations.
