Description

This article describes how to import a list of URLs and use it for web filters.

Scope

FortiGate.

Solution

To achieve this, it is possible to use FortiGuard Category threat feeds. This method will dynamically import a text file from an external server, which contains one URL per line.

 

Go to Security Fabric -> External Connectors and select Create New. In the Threat Feeds section, select FortiGuard Category.

To configure a FortiGuard category threat feed in the CLI, type the below commands:

config system external-resource

    edit "10.10.10.5"

        set type category

        set category 192

        set resource "http://10.10.10.5/test.txt"

        set server-identity-check {none | basic | full}

    next

end

After being successfully created, under the web filter profile, there will be a new category called 'Remote categories' with the list of URLs imported from the server. Modify the action for this new category based on the requirements.
