Description This article explains how to configure per-user traffic usage quotas on the FortiGate using a Web-Filter profile.

Solution

This article assumes an example configuration, where the WAN IP is 41.1.12.112/32 and the Internal IP is 172.16.3.0/24

Next, apply the web filter policy during the creation of a firewall policy as described in Technical Tip: User based policy not working.

 

If configured correctly, user-based traffic usage quota will be applied. Users will need to log in to use the network, allowing the cap to take effect.
