The Policy Route is needed to steer Internet traffic from the usual outgoing Internet line:
config router policy
After this setting, internal traffic may be disrupted.
This happens because the destination address on Policy Route is the 'ALL' address. It will steer Internet traffic and all internal traffic as well, because it is being matched.
To resolve this, there needs to be another policy on top to stop Policy Route for internal traffic:
FGT-VM (root) # sh router policy
FGT-VM (root) # sh firewall addrgrp Private\ Address |
