Description | This article lists the FortiGuard server that needs to be exempted if the user is limiting internet access. |
Scope | FortiGate v7.2+. |
Solution |
FortiGuard servers' location is based on the closest proximity to the FortiGate. However, it is possible to configure FortiGate to use public FortiGuard servers located only in the USA or European Union through the following commands:
config system fortiguard set update-server-location [automatic | usa | eu] end
Moreover, FortiGate uses different ports for rating services and update services: Web filtering and antispam port when using public FortiGuard Servers:
UDP 8888 UDP 53 HTTPS 8888 HTTPS 53 HTTPS 443
Web filtering and antispam port when using FortiManager as a local FortiGuard server:
UDP 8888 UDP 53 HTTPS 53 HTTPS 8888
Antivirus and IPS updates:
HTTPS 443
FortiGuard Service:
service.fortiguard.net <----- UDP port 53, 8888; UDP and worldwide servers. securewf.fortiguard.net <----- HTTPS over port 443, 53, 8888; HTTPS and worldwide servers. update.fortiguard.net <----- TCP port 443. usupdate.fortinet.net <----- TCP port 443. usservice.fortiguard.net <----- UDP and USA-based-only servers. ussecurewf.fortiguard.net <----- HTTPS and USA-based-only servers. euservice.fortiguard.net <----- UDP and European-based-only servers. eusecurewf.fortiguard.net <----- HTTPS and European-based-only servers.
