Description This article describes why the Quic protocol is blocked despite there being no block policy in multi-vdom with mixed profile: policy mode setup.
Scope FortiGate v7.0.x.
Solution

In this scenario: 

1) Multi-vdom firewall with mixed profile: policy-based mode.

2) Root VDOM is a profile-based mode.

3) This subsequent VDOM is policy-based mode 

 

Quic traffic is blocked in subsequent VDOM:

The firewall policy is without UTM enabled or any block rule:

Workaround::

Changing root VDOM from profile to policy-based mode. 

 

Conclusion:
In a multi-vdom setup, if the root VDOM is profile based and the subsequent VDOMS in policy-based, it is required to change the root VDOM to policy based to allow Quic.
Also, the firewall should have an IPS engine version 7.000100 or higher.
