Description | This article describes how to allow endpoint connection to GitHub when the connection was blocked by Web Filter's FortiGuard Category-Based Filter. |
Scope | FortiGate. |
Solution |
The ideal solution is to create a firewall policy bypass through the use of ISDB above the current outbound firewall policy as shown below.
However, if creating a bypass policy is not possible then it's possible to edit the Web Filter profile to allow this URL instead.
Turn on the static URL filter if not already on, and add the URL as an entry. The action should be set to 'Exempt' instead of 'Allow'.
