Also in case of multiple ISP or SD-WAN connection source IP and interface may be required to add.

 

config log fortiguard setting

set status enable

set access-config enable

set ssl-min-proto-version default

set source-ip 0.0.0.0  [it should be one of the WAN interface IP]

set interface-select-method auto [auto|sdwan|specify] <- With 'specify', it is necessary to add 'set interface WAN_INTERFAC_PORT_Number'

set upload-option realtime

set priority default

set max-log-rate 0

set enc-algorithm high

set conn-timeout 10

end

 

Note:

If there is an upstream firewall, the following ports need to be allowed for the FortiGate Cloud connection to work properly.
